A Simple Way to Prepare a Delicious Zucchini Roll 0 15

A zucchini roll filled with fresh cream cheese, herbs, and slices of ham is a very simple recipe. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or a main course.

It is served cold, and the stove will only need to be heated for grilling the zucchini. Note that the roll will need to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. The recipe was published on the Cucchiaio website.

Ingredients:

3 large zucchinis;
200 g cream cheese;
150 g sliced cooked ham;
fresh marjoram;
fresh basil;
40 g chopped pistachios;
1 handful of arugula;
salt, pepper.

Preparation:

1. First, wash the zucchinis, dry them, cut off the ends, and slice them lengthwise into pieces no thicker than 5 mm. Sauté them on both sides in a hot grill pan, then season with salt and pepper.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese with the chopped herbs and a small amount of freshly ground pepper. Lay the zucchini slices on a sheet of parchment paper, overlapping them to form a rectangle.

3. Place the slices of ham on top, then evenly spread the seasoned cream cheese and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.

4. Add the arugula and carefully roll the zucchini with the filling into a roll. Wrap it in parchment and leave it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. After that, remove the parchment paper, slice the zucchini roll, and serve.
