Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6
baby zucchini -- shredded
1 teaspoon
salt
1
stick butter
1
cup Myzithra cheese -- grated
Shred or matchstick cut the zucchini. Place in a sieve or collander and
toss with the salt. Let drain for at least an hour.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the butter,
stirring frequently, until it turns a toasty brown -- be careful not to burn
it!
Add zucchini and toss just until the zucchini gets hot. Immediately remove
skillet from heat and stir in grated cheese. The cheese will NOT melt no
matter what you do!!
Serve hot.

NOTES : Myzithra cheese is a hard Greek sheep's milk cheese, similar to dry
ricotta. It has a nutty, salty flavor and does not melt when heated.
I
can't think of any cheese that would make a decent substitute. This dish
tastes fantastic with lamb. It's also excellent made with spaghetti squash
instead of zucchini.
