"This is a recipe from a very old cookbook that I was given as a present from my wonderful Mum. I have often overlooked this recipe, but I do so want to try this recipe that originates from Romania. I think smaller courgettes would work better, but it would be up to the cook! To vary the dish, thinly sliced tomatoes can be added to each layer. Note: Butter, breadcrumbs, parsley and cream are approximate, as it will depend on what you prefer to use."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends of the courgettes, but leave the courgettes whole.
Step 2
Put them in a pan with water to cover, add some salt and cook over a moderate heat until they are just tender; cool and cut lengthwise into halves.
Step 3
Generously rub a casserole dish with butter and sprinkle all around it with breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Place a layer of courgettes, cut side up, at the bottom of the dish & sprinkle with grated cheese, dot generously with some butter, then some parsley & salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Repeat this procedure until all the courgettes are used up; cover the top layer of courgettes with grated cheese and breadcrumbs and bake in a moderate oven (180C/350F,Gas4) for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Serve with the slightly sweetened cream or sour cream.
