Preparation of Fake Zucchini Sushi

Grill them on a very hot grill or griddle on all sides and let them cool.
In a small bowl, put the cream cheese and the grated cheese and work them into a cream until you get a homogeneous mixture.Place the grilled zucchini slices on a cutting board and spread them with some of the cheese mixture.
Roll them up to create rolls, place them in an airtight container on one of the rolled sides, close them and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.After the resting time or just before serving, chop the mortadella without turning it into a paste.
Place the zucchini rolls on a serving plate and top with a little chopped mortadella, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and some oregano, and serve your fake zucchini sushi.
