Server rolls: neat outside, hacked and spicy inside.
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchinis
- 150 g cream cheese
- 1 red chili pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 8 slices white sandwich bread
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- salt and pepper
- 4 sturdy wooden skewers
Method
- Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips using a cheese slicer.
- Grill the strips briefly on both sides in a grill pan until marked.
- Finely chop chili and garlic, mix with cream cheese, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the cheese mixture on each zucchini strip and roll up tightly.
- Remove crusts from the bread, toast until golden, and cut each slice into a square.
- Place two zucchini rolls upright on each bread square, like mini servers.
- Pierce one roll per plate diagonally with a skewer, as the ‘hack’ entry point.
Serving notes
- Serve on a white plate for the server effect.
- Drizzle olive oil around for shine.
- Serve immediately to keep the contrast between warm toast and cool filling.
