½ kg courgettes

½ kg potatoes

2 large tomatoes

400 gr myzithra cheese

Chop the tomatoes and add to the courgettes along with the finely chopped mint, salt and pepper, and mix well. Spread half of the potatoes in an oiled dish and then add a total of three alternating layers of the cheese and the courgette mixture.
