TwoI had been dreaming of a recipe I stumbled across on raw epicurean for months, I had finally attempted to it. I made a few alterations, and this is how it turned out! Absolutely delish! Even my cooked-veggie boy loved it. It will defiantly be made again in my kitchen.
Ingredients:
1 large zucchini
For Pesto:
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup fresh flat leaf
parsley
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
pinch of salt &
pepper
For Red Pepper Bruschetta:
1/2 red pepper
1 T onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 garlic
clove
pinch of salt & pepper
Preparation:
To Assemble:
One) Pulse Ingredients for pesto in food processor until a creamy consistency is reached. Place pesto in a bowl and set aside. Rinse food processor.
Two) Use a carrot peeler to create thin slices of Zucchini, lay flat and spread an even coating of pesto on zucchini slice. Roll up, and place one rolled side up on a plate.
Three) Pulse Ingredients for Red Pepper Bruschetta in Food processor, consistency should be chunky. Pour over Zucchini rolls.
Enjoy!

I made this tonight- sort of. lol. I used, based on what was on hand, spinach & a mixture of walnuts and cashews. I also stacked it in layers, vs rolling it. And topped with the Red Pepper Bruschetta as listed. I figured the bf wouldn't touch anything that looked like sushi!! (Which he later confirmed! lol) He loved it, and was totally impressed! I suppose I made enough changes that it really is a 'different' recipe, but it was definitely inspired by this one, so: Thanks!!
