Ingredients:
5 or 6 medium zucchini
6 oz fresh goat cheese
1 or 2 finely chopped cloves garlic
3-4 tbsp chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, chervil, tarragon
1 tbsp herbes de Provence
3 bsp extra virgin olive oil
Methods:
- Peel the zucchini to leave a striped effect and cut thin slices lengthwise either with a sharp knife or a mandolin, discarding the rounded side pieces. Blanch the slices for 1 minute in boiling water, a few at a time, and immediately remove with tongs into a bowl of cold water. After a couple of minutes lift gently out of the water and blot dry each slice with paper towel or a clean dish cloth.
- Mash the cheese in a bowl incorporating the garlic and fresh herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place a generous teaspoon of the filling on each zucchini slice and roll up.
- Lightly oil a serving dish and arrange the rolls on it. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle the herbes de Provence over.
- Leave several hours if possible to allow the flavors to develop, even overnight is fine.
- Serve with baby salad greens tossed in vinaigrette.
