Ingredients
Scale
For the Rolls
- 1 zucchini, grated
- Salt to taste
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 potato, grated
- 2 eggs
- 100 grams cheese, grated
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 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. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Afterward, squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini to avoid soggy rolls.
- Mix the Roll Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrot, potato, grated cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, eggs, ground black pepper, Italian herbs, paprika, oatmeal, and flour. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the Rolls: Take small handfuls of the mixture and shape them into neat rolls. Repeat this process until all the mixture has been used.
- Fry the Rolls: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the rolls for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Once done, remove the rolls and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Prepare the Dip: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, finely chopped cucumber, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create a fresh and creamy dip.
- Serve: Serve the hot vegetable rolls alongside the cucumber and sour cream dip. Garnish with additional chopped parsley for freshness, and pair with a light salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini to avoid soggy rolls.
- Customize the flavor with your favorite herbs and spices to suit your taste.
- Ensure medium heat is used during frying to cook the rolls thoroughly without burning.
- These rolls can be served as an appetizer or a light main dish alongside a salad.
