Unusual zucchini roll with minced meat: my husband asks to cook it every weekend

Everyone knows what a roll is. However, not everyone has the information that this dish can be prepared even from vegetables. A good example of my words is a tender roll, the base of which is made from zucchini, and minced meat with various additives is used as a filling. The appetizer turns out to be not only tasty, but also very beautiful, so it can be prepared even for a holiday.

Step-by-step recipe for zucchini roll with minced meat

As soon as the first zucchini are on sale, I always fry them, season them with mayonnaise or ketchup, chopped fresh dill and grated garlic. Those who know the taste of such a dish will understand when I say that it is impossible to tear yourself away from it until the plate is empty. But towards the end of the season, when large-sized zucchini are more and more often on the shelves, I have a period of pancakes, pancakes and rolls with the addition of a green handsome man.
