Ingredients
1 zucchini, grated
Salt to taste
1 carrot, grated
1 potato, grated
2 eggs
100g (3.5 oz) cheese, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh parsley, chopped
Ground black pepper to taste
Italian herbs to taste
Paprika to taste
4 tablespoons oatmeal
2 tablespoons flour
Olive oil for frying
For the Dip:
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 cucumber, finely chopped
A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the zucchini, carrot, and potato. Sprinkle salt over the grated zucchini and let it sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrot, potato, grated cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, eggs, black pepper, Italian herbs, paprika, oatmeal, and flour. Mix everything well until fully incorporated.
- Shape the Rolls: Take a small handful of the mixture and shape it into a roll. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up.
- Cook the Rolls: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the rolls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Prepare the Dip: In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped cucumber, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve the warm vegetable rolls hot, accompanied by the creamy cucumber dip on the side. Garnish with extra chopped parsley for added freshness.
