Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 zucchini sliced lengthwise into ribbons
  • 6 oz goat cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Brush the zucchini ribbons with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill or pan-sear the ribbons 1-2 minutes per side until just pliable, then let cool.
  3. Mix the goat cheese with the basil and lemon zest.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the cheese onto each zucchini ribbon.
  5. Roll each ribbon up snugly and secure with a toothpick, then arrange on a platter.

Notes

Pat the grilled ribbons dry so the cheese spreads without sliding.
