  • 2 eggs

  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

Prepare the Zucchini:

  • Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them lengthwise into thin strips.
  • Sprinkle the zucchini strips with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This process will extract the extra moisture.
  • Pat the zucchini strips dry with a paper towel.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated hard cheese, finely chopped tomato, chopped parsley, and minced garlic.
  • Add the sour cream and mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Coat the Zucchini:

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • Place the flour in another shallow bowl.
  • Dip each zucchini strip first in the flour, then in the whisked eggs, ensuring they are well-coated.

Fry the Zucchini:

  • Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the coated zucchini strips to the skillet in batches.
  • Fry each strip for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer the fried zucchini strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Assemble the Rolls:

  • Place a spoonful of the cheese and tomato filling at one end of each fried zucchini strip.
  • Carefully roll up the zucchini strip, starting from the end with the filling.
  • Secure each roll with a toothpick if necessary.

Serve:

  • Place the zucchini rolls on a serving dish.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
