Ingredients
- 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
Method
- 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.
