Zucchini Rollups

Zucchini Rollups is an awesome cold starter, where the creaminess of feta cheese is interspersed with a burst of basil! This starter requires no cooking and is quite easy to make. It owes its success to the attractive presentation and the exciting mix of natural flavours, including the creaminess of feta, the herby taste of basil and the tanginess of lemon juice. Make sure you serve the Zucchini Rollup as soon as you assemble it, as it might let out some water if left for a while.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes.
Cooking Time: Nil.
Makes 12 roll ups.
Baking temperature: 150°C (300°F).

12 long zucchini slices
3 tsp olive oil
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch)
3 tbsp feta cheese
1 tsp lemon juice
½ cup chopped basil

1. Grease baking tray with 1 tsp of olive oil. Place the zucchini slices over it, drizzle 2 tsp of olive oil and sprinkle ¼ tsp of black pepper evenly over them. Bake them in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5 minutes. Keep it aside to cool.
2. In a deep bowl, add the feta cheese and mash it well with the back of a spoon till it is creamy in texture.
