"This is such a delicious way to use up your Zucchini. I made this many years back using cheddar cheese and we loved it, (as a matter of a fact it took our resident Zucchini hater a while to work out it was his most detested vegetable .....so he pushed it aside after he found out). To vary the dish you can add thinly sliced tomatoes to each layer, but I remember this recipe not needing the added extra. This is a Rumanian recipe which came from a very old cookbook given to me by my wonderful mother. NOTE: More or less butter, cheese, crumbs or parsley may be used according to your taste."
