grilled zucchini roll ups

The countdown to summer is ON.  And for me it is T-minus 12 hours.

Don’t be jealous.  My unemployment also starts then too.  It is such a crazy catch 22. I’m incredibly accustomed to having the summers off, but for some reason, since I don’t have any future emplyment for the fall…I’m freaking out just a little bit.

But I am not going to let that ruin my summer!  I repeat, I will NOT let it ruin my summer!  Especially not these next three weeks when my kids are still in school and I’ve got nothing on my schedule but GTL. (gym, target, lunching with the ladies).

So fire up the grill people.  Summer is here!  I hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend.

what you need:

5 medium zucchini, sliced thin

6 oz feta cheese, crumbled

1 red habanero pepper, seeded and chopped

1/2 cup mint, chopped

1 lemon, juiced

4 tablespoons olive oil

what to do:

put sliced zucchini in a large ziploc with olive oil.  let sit for 15 minutes

heat grill

grill zucchini for approximately 4 minutes on each side

in a medium bowl combine feta, pepper, mint (reserve 2 tablespoons for later), and lemon juice.

take each slice of zucchini and place 2 tablespoons of feta mixture at one end and roll up.

repeat for remaining slices of zucchini

sprinkle zucchini rolls with remaining mint

serve and enjoy!
