This is one of my family's favorite meals-- it is so simple but so good. In the summer, fresh tomatoes and fresh basil from the garden are used, but I always use one can of tomatoes for the juice. Dried basil can also be substituted in the winter if necessary, but don't substitute on the myzithra! It is a Greek cheese with a wonderful flavor that absolutely makes this dish, use it very generously! You can find it in most delis now, grating it from a chunk is far preferable to the pre-grated, which is dried out. Hope this becomes one of your family's favorites too!
