Tools
What we need to prepare
- Mandoline for vegetables
- Baking Tray
- Parchment Paper
- Brush silicone
Preparation: Zucchini with Ricotta and Turkey Breast
Slice the zucchini lengthwise. I used the specific vegetable slicer,
Use the nicest slices for the rolls, and chop the scraps for the filling. Arrange the slices on 2 trays with parchment paper underneath, and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Pour the oil into a small cup and brush each slice with the brush.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) with the fan on for 10 minutes. Then take them out and let them cool. Alternatively, if you don’t want to turn on the oven, you could grill them.
Chop the ugly slices and scraps and put them in a bowl.
Together with the minced turkey breast, ricotta, a little salt, and pepper. Mix everything with a spoon.
Place the zucchini slices on a work surface and spread the filling you just made.
Now you just have to roll them up.
Cut the lettuce into julienne strips and place it on a plate, and on top place the zucchini rolls accompanied by tomato pieces and basil.
