Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan. When hot, add the zucchini slices in a single layer, working in batches if you have to. Cook for about 2-4 minutes, or until the cooked side is golden brown then flip and cook the second side until browned, another 2-4 minutes. Alternatively, you can coat the slices in oil and broil for 5-10 minutes in the oven until browned.
- Stir together the ricotta, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. If your ricotta is fairly firm, you can add a bit of heavy cream to loosen it. Just add until a spreadable consistency is reached.
- Spread a tablespoon of ricotta over each strip of zucchini. Roll up and arrange on a plate.
Notes
You can also use goat cheese – simply mix it with heavy cream until it is a spreadable consistency before adding the minced fresh herbs. Likewise, cucumbers that are uncooked and sliced 1/8-inch thin also work as the wrap portion for another variation. To make things even easier, slacken some Boursin cheese with heavy cream for the filling.
