Categories     Cheese     Vegetable     Appetizer     No-Cook     Fourth of July     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy

Yield 10 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium zucchini
1/3 cup room temperature goat cheese
zest of half a small lemon
2 teaspoons fresh basil, torn or minced, plus extra for garnish
2 teaspoons fresh mint, torn or minced, plus extra for garnish
1 garlic clove, minced with a micro planer
2 oil-packed sun dried tomatoes, patted dry and chopped, plus extra for garnish
1 heaping tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
kosher salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Using a mandolin set to the thinest setting, shave the zucchini into long ribbons. 2. Toast pine nuts in a small skillet until they are golden, taking care not to burn them, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside to cool. 3. Mix goat cheese with lemon zest, basil, mint and garlic in a small bowl. Use a fork to blend together well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 4. Lay zucchini ribbons out on a flat surface and gently spread cheese mixture the length of the zucchini. Make sure to place a dollop of cheese at the end of the strip to act as glue to hold spiral together. 5. Place about 6-7 pieces of sun dried tomato down the center of zucchini followed by 6-7 pine nuts. Roll the zucchini up from the bottom to the top. Place on a platter and continue to roll until ingredients are gone. 6. To garnish, mix any leftover herbs, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts together and sprinkle over tops of rolls.

This dish was an absolute delight! The zucchini spirals were perfectly cooked, tender yet still with a bit of a bite. The herbed lemon goat cheese was tangy and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the zucchini. I will definitely be making this di
