Zucchini roll is a thin cake made from grated zucchini stuffed with a delicious filling. In this case, we suggest a mushroom filling, but the possibilities are truly endless! You can experiment with different additions to create a roll perfectly suited to your tastes.

Preparing a zucchini roll is extremely easy and consists of three stages:

1. Preparing the zucchini cake: Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater, and add eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well and spread on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes at 180°C.
2. Preparing the stuffing: Sauté onions and mushrooms in a pan. Add salt, pepper, and your favourite herbs. Let the stuffing cool.
3. Forming the roll: Take the zucchini cake out of the oven and spread it with the stuffing. Roll it up and cut it into pieces.

Mushroom stuffing is just one of many ideas for stuffing a zucchini roll. You can experiment with different flavours and create a roll perfectly suited to your tastes. Here are a few inspirations:

• Cottage cheese: Mix cottage cheese with sour cream, chives, and dill. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Salmon: Cook or fry a salmon fillet. Mash it with a fork and mix it with mayonnaise, chives, and dill. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Vegetable: Sauté pepper, zucchini, and onions in a pan. Add salt, pepper, and your favourite herbs.
