By polloazul

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1 large zucchini, sliced 1/8th inch thick lengthwise
• Olive oil cooking spray
• 4 oz goat cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
• 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 Tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
• Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, add raisins and cover with warm water. Set aside.

Preheat grill to medium. Lightly mist both sides of zucchini slices with cooking spray. Grill for about 3 minutes per side, until softened and lightly charred. Remove and let cool.

Drain raisins and roughly chop. Add raisins to a medium bowl with goat cheese, pistachios, lemon juice and zest and mint. Stir and season with pepper.

Place 1 slice zucchini on a work surface. Spread about 2 teaspoons goat cheese mixture onto zucchini, then roll up and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining zucchini and goat cheese mixture. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Do not chill for more than a couple of hours.
