Ingredients for 4 servings:
- 3 m.-large zucchini
- 200 g tomatoes (small cocktail tomatoes)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 50 g tomatoes, dried
- 400 g cream cheese with herbs
- some pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt
Instructions
Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes
Wash the zucchini, trim off the ends, and slice lengthwise into very thin slices using a vegetable peeler. Lightly salt both sides. Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Mix both with the cream cheese and finely chopped basil, and season with pepper. Add salt if desired, but be careful, the zucchini is salted. Spread the cream cheese on the zucchini slices and roll them up. Thread the rolls, alternating with tomatoes or tomato quarters, onto wooden skewers, sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and grill. This also works well in a casserole dish in the oven (approx. 15 minutes grilling time in an electric oven with grill). It also looks delicious in portions if you use toothpicks and skewer a zucchini roll with a tomato. Arrange the skewers on plates or a large platter, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. It tastes best with fresh baguette.
