Zucchini Roll-Ups with Cottage Cheese Filling

Begin by washing the small zucchini thoroughly. Then, slice it into thin strips using a sharp knife or mandoline for even pieces. It's important to use young zucchinis for the best flavor and texture.

Once sliced, season the zucchini with salt and pepper, making sure to coat evenly.

In a skillet, heat some vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully add the zucchini slices to the pan, frying them on both sides until golden and tender. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.

After frying, place the cooked zucchini strips on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

In a bowl, finely chop several sprigs of dill and set them aside. You will need a fresh, fragrant amount to enhance the flavor of your roll-ups.

Next, grate the garlic cloves using a fine grater or press them through a garlic press. Combine the grated garlic with the cottage cheese in a mixing bowl.

Add the chopped dill to the cottage cheese mixture and stir until well combined. This filling will add a delightful taste to your zucchini roll-ups.

Now that everything is prepared, take a zucchini slice and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spoon some of the cottage cheese filling onto one end of the zucchini strip.

Carefully roll the zucchini around the filling, starting from the end where you placed the filling. This will help keep the filling secure inside the rolled zucchini.

Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini slices and filling until everything is used up. Your delicious zucchini roll-ups are now ready to be served!
