| 1. Mix the salt into the shredded zucchini. Let sit for 15 minutes then drain thoroughly. | 2. Mix the zucchini and olive oil into the beef, and then shape the beef into a flat circle in a greased 9" pie pan. (Leave a little room between the edge of the pan and the beef, so any extra fat can drain there). | 3. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the beef, then top the mozzarella in layers with first the tomatos, then the mushrooms or olives if you are using them,then the herbs,then the parmesan. I sometimes use extra dried herbs and parmesan, because I like them (a lot!). | 4. Bake the dish in a 350 degree oven for appx 40 minutes, or till beef is cooked through and parmesan is slightly browned. | 5. Slice into wedges and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
