Description

Elegant appetizer perfect for your holiday party. These gluten-free zucchini rolls are surprisingly easy to make!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cans (640 g) Tuna in Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Maille Dijon Originale Mustard
  • 3 oz (80 g) Dairy Free Cream Cheese
  • 12 Walnuts
  • 2 large Organic Zucchini
  • 3 sprigs fresh Mint
  • 24 Red Currants
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Maille Dijon Originale Mustard
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) full fat Coconut Milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling by mixing all ingredients together in a small bowl.
  2. Wash the zucchini, dry them with a paper towel, and cut off the ends.
  3. Using a large potato peeler or a mandolin, cut the zucchini into thin slices.
  4. Spread some of the tuna and mustard filling on a zucchini strip, lay 2 mint leaves on top, then roll it up into a bud-like shape.
  5. Pierce a red currant berry with a toothpick and insert it diagonally into the zucchini bud to hold it rolled.
  6. Repeat until all zucchini buds are rolled and arrange them on a platter.
  7. Combine all dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl, mix well, and place it in the middle of the platter before serving.

Notes

  • For easiest peeling, use a vegetable peeler and avoid overly ripe zucchini.
  • If you don’t have red currants, use other small berries like cranberries or even small pieces of cherry tomatoes.
  • Store assembled zucchini rolls, refrigerated, for up to 24 hours before serving. The filling will keep longer.
