Vegan Zucchini Rolls (Georgian Style)

2023-07-16

Vegan Zucchini Rolls (Georgian Style)

What to do when the vegetable box or garden is full of fully ripe zucchini again? Georgian-style vegan zucchini rolls could be the answer. Zucchini is cut into long slices, fried, filled with a spicy walnut paste and rolled up. Super simple, super easy and therefore a super recipe for processing large quantities of zucchini.

But why Georgian-Style zucchini rolls? The dish is based on a classic Georgian dish called Badrijani (or Badridschani). There, however, aubergine is stuffed with walnut. But we like the zucchini version at least as much, if not more. But shhh, please don’t tell the Georgians!

Walnut paste

  • 150 g walnuts

Preparation

  • Cut or slice the zucchini(s) lengthwise into slices about 0.3 - 0.5 cm thick. Sauté in a pan with a dash of olive oil on each side over medium-high heat until brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.
  • For the walnut paste, first peel and dice onion and garlic and sauté briefly with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Blend both with the remaining ingredients in a food processor or in a tall container using a hand blender to make a paste.
  • Now place 1 spoonful of walnut paste on one end of each fried zucchini slice and roll up from that side.
  • Remove the seeds from the pomegranate. Serve the zucchini rolls sprinkled with the pomegranate seeds and some more cilantro, if desired. It goes well with white bread.
