Ingredients

  • 3 zucchini (about 1/2 pound each), sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 ounces reduced-fat soft goat's cheese
  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced parsley leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1/3 cup basil leaves

Directions

Discard the outermost slices of zucchini and brush the rest of the slices with the oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated grill or grill pan for about 4 minutes on each side, or until tender.

In a small bowl combine the goat cheese, parsley leaves and lemon juice, mashing with a fork.

Put 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture about 1/2-inch from the end of a zucchini slice. Top with a few spinach leaves and 1 small, or half of a large basil leaf. Roll up and place seam side down on a platter. Repeat with the rest of the zucchini slices.

    While this is a tasty recipe, I think it has some flaws. First off, it's veeeeeeeery time consuming and second, the amount of goat cheese listed isn't nearly enough for even half the zucchini. I've had to double or tripple the filling amount in order to use up the zucchini. I like the taste, but it's a lot of work to make this recipe and it's just an appetizer that's gone in no time. Not sure when I'll be making this again.

    Made this today as a BBQ appetizer and it was a great hit! Goat cheese turned some people off so we decided that next time we'll make some with goat cheese and some with cream cheese.
