Ingredients:
6 zucchini - sliced lengthwise - about ¼ inch thickness
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese - shredded
7 slices of bread - soaked in milk
Grated Romano cheese
Olive Oil
For the Sauce:
7 Cloves of garlic - crushed & chopped
1 Large sweet onion - sliced
1 Healthy handful of fresh cilantro - chopped
1 - 28oz. can of whole or crushed tomatoes
¼ cup of wine
Dashes of sea salt
Dashes of fresh ground black pepper
Dashes of oregano
Dashes of red pepper flakes
Olive Oil
Heat a griddle with a drizzle of olive oil and place the zucchini slices on the hot griddle. Grill until the slices are golden and then set aside.
For the Sauce:
Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil and add the onion, garlic and cilantro. Sauté until the onion is a beautiful golden color. Add the tomatoes and the wine and continue to simmer on low. Add the seasonings and continue to simmer on low.
To Build the Parmesan:
Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees:
Drizzle a little olive oil at the bottom of a baking dish. Place a large spoonful of the sauce at the bottom of the dish and begin to build the parmesan. Start with the zucchini topped with the sauce, followed by the cheeses and then the bread. Repeat this process until all is used up.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
This dish is easy and delicious. I know you will love it.
Enjoy with Love and Laughter!

This dish is full of taste and goodness of zucchini. I am afraid the cheese you mentioned is not found here in Hong Kong. Is there an alternative? The dish looks extremely good!
