Wonderful recipe, of course you can't miss when there is feta cheese involved! I made as written with the exception of the parsley as I didn't have any on hand. This will be made again! Spring PAC 2014. Thanks mama smurf!

This would have to be the best way of doing Zucchini's that I have every tried. And I love zucchini and we eat them often. I did slice them a bit smaller than 2" on a diagonal line. The flavours were outstanding. I used a hard, dryish feta which crumbled easily. There is nothing that would improve this recipe. It is perfection. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap December 2013.

mama- Wonderful and so quick. I love the feta cheese as opposed to mozzarella or cheddar. So quick and simple and as the farmers markets and what is left of my garden flourish I had everything on hand. I shared this with a neighbor as we had an impromptu ladies dinner on the porch , potluck style, and all raved for your recipe. (I did pass it along) I will make this often for myself as a meal and for hubby as a side sans the feta as he is not normal and does not care for it.on his food , in ok but not on :-( He married a Greek for Gosh sake. Simple, delicious and flavors jump out at you. I was very careful with the salt as feta is very salty so used a tinge at first and adjusted as needed.Made for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap. update: 7/30/13 Made for the Annual Buffalo NY Garden Walk get together and it was gone so fast I did not get any. I doubled the recipe and it was a major hit. Zukes are coming out of our gardens like crazy now so perfect recipe for the gardeners.
