Prep and cook time: 25 min. Servings: 2 (6–8 zucchini rolls and 3 T. salsa per person)
Ingredients
- 2 med. zucchini
- 1 c. cooked couscous (about ½ c. dry couscous)
- ¼ c. parsley, chopped
- 2 T. cilantro, chopped
- ½ c. cilantro, chopped
- 2 pinches salt, divided
- ½ c. tomato, chopped
- ¼ c. corn kernels, thawed if frozen
- 1 med. jalapeno, minced (optional)
- 1 scallion, cut into thin rings
Directions
- Using a vegetable peeler, shave zucchini into ribbons. Mix the couscous with the parsley, ½ c. cilantro and salt.
- Lay a zucchini ribbon flat on the counter, sprinkle some couscous over it and roll it up, enclosing the couscous mixture inside the roll. Continue until all zucchini and couscous are used.
- Prepare your steamer: Bring about ¾ in. of water to a simmer in a skillet or saucepan that holds your steamer. Lay the rolls into the steamer basket in a single layer, and then place the covered steamer over the simmering water. Steam for 10 min.
- While the rolls are steaming, make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, corn, 2 T. cilantro, jalapeno, scallion and salt. Set aside.
- When zucchini rolls are cooked through, remove them from the steamer. Serve with the salsa spooned over the top.
