This lighter take on a French-style stuffed leaf roll is made by filling grape leaves with grated zucchini and cheese instead of the traditional filling, then cooking them gently. Its low-carb profile makes it a suitable snack option for people following a ketogenic diet.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the filling

10 min

Squeeze the liquid from the grated zucchini and mix it with the white cheese, egg, dill, salt, and black pepper.

2

Fill the leaves

15 min

Lay the grape leaves shiny-side down. Place one 5 ml measure of filling on each leaf and roll it tightly.

3

Cook

15 min

Arrange the rolls snugly in a wide pot and drizzle them with olive oil and lemon juice. Add a little water and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

4

Serve

5 min

Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes and serve warm.

Reminder

Squeeze the zucchini thoroughly, or the filling will be watery and the leaves will be difficult to roll. Allergens: dairy (white cheese) and eggs.
