Ever since I first made my aubergine and feta rolls, i had been meaning to do the same with zucchini...and i finally got around to doing it! I used cream cheese instead of feta this time, and rolled in some asparagus as well...and it was simply divine! There's no better way to describe it. The soft cream cheese with the tender asparagus and marinated zucchini gives an absolutely melt-in-your-mouth sensation. Perfect appetizer for a hot summer day!
And, as a bonus, it is so simple to make!
Slice zucchini length-wise to get thin and long slices. Marinate them in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Then grill the slices for 3-5 minutes until they are nicely brown. Meanwhile boil some asparagus tips for 4-5 minutes or until they are tender. Lay out the zucchini slices on a tray, place a spoon of cream cheese on the side of each slice, follow it with one asparagus tip and roll carefully. And you're done!
I really enjoyed the natural flavours of the zucchini and asparagus, but you could add a small basil leaf as well for more flavour if you like.

YUM! these sound fantastic. they would also be good with green beans, i think. found you on the foodies group, from linked in. thanks!
ReplyDeleteya that would be interesting as well! could also be a good back-up for days when there's no asparagus!
