Zucchini Roll-Ups with meat

Ingredients

4 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise

1/2 tsp black pepper

3/4 cup cream cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Olive oil, for brushing

Salt

Preparation

1- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.

2- Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil and place them on the grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until very soft but not falling apart 10 minutes.

3- Remove the slices to paper towels to absorb the excess moisture. Let them cool completely.

4- Spread about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese onto each of the zucchini slices. Place a basil leaf on top. Starting at one end, roll each  slice zucchini up.

5- Serve the roll-ups on a platter garnished with small basil leaves. Serve cool.
