  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make stuffed zucchini rolls with cheese and garlic? Prepare the products. Take the zucchini young, smooth, with an intact peel and no signs of spoilage. If the squash does not meet these requirements, it is better to abandon it. Wash the squash, dry it. Also wash and dry the greens.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Cut the squash lengthwise into thin slices. This can be done manually or on a special berner grater. With the help of it, the slices will be smooth and of the same thickness. Just be very careful, these graters have sharp blades.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it well over medium heat so that the zucchini does not stick to the bottom. Put slices of zucchini in the hot oil so that they lie freely. Fry literally for 1-2 minutes on each side. Do not fry them for a very long time, they will become soft and will tear when twisted.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Place the fried zucchini on sheets of paper towel to remove excess oil that they have absorbed. Lay them out in one layer.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put soft cheese and chopped greens in a bowl (I have dill). For such rolls, almost any kind of soft cheese is suitable. It can be "Sirtaki", "Feta" and even blue cheeses. Instead of dill, you can put parsley, cilantro or tarragon. It all depends on your preference and taste.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Peel the garlic and grate it on a fine grater, add it to a bowl with cheese. Adjust the amount of garlic to your liking, because garlic cloves may vary in size and degree of sharpness.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Add mayonnaise. Do not put the whole amount of mayonnaise at once, as the cheese is different and it may need less or more. The main thing is that the filling is thick.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Mix everything well and, if necessary, add salt to the filling. I didn't add salt, I had enough of it from cheese and mayonnaise.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Take one fried slice of zucchini and put a teaspoon of filling on the wide edge. Roll the squash into a roll from the wide edge to the narrow one.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Step 12.

    Bon appetit!

Which zucchini will work best? Choose young fruits with tender skins. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use more mature zucchini, cut off the rough peel and cut out the middle with the seeds.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
