This is loosely like lasagne in as far as it is layered. Serve this with a salad for a lovely quick Greek meal. The time for draining the zucchini and the resting after it is baked is not in the prep time. Ingredients:
4 large zucchini |
2 tablespoons salt |
1/2 cup flour |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped or |
1 teaspoon dried mint |
1 cup crumbled feta cheese |
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup olive oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil |
