Zucchini and Tomato Stacks image

I learned this at a French cuisine class. The French chef's delicate hands made the creation of this dish wonderful to watch and of course wonderful to taste. In the oven, he put the baking sheet of tomato stacks under a rack of lamb (see my other recipe page) baking above, to catch the juices. That was a trick I'm sure to follow.
