Courgette Rolls

1.Wash the courgettes and dry.

2.Use the vegetable peeler to slice the courgettes length ways into long very thin strips about 1 ½ inches wide.

3.Lay the strips on a plate.

4.Brush the strips with olive oil then sprinkle the strips with salt and pepper.

5.Now place the courgette strips in the fridge for 20 minutes.

6.Meanwhile mix the ricotta, lemon juice, nuts and chilli powder (if using).

7.When the courgette strips have had the 20 minutes in the fridge, spread the cheese mixture on the length of the courgette (it must be a very thin layer of cheese mixture or you will not be able to roll the courgettes).

8.Roll the courgettes like mini Swiss rolls.

9.When all courgettes are rolled put them on the serving plates and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar (if using) and serve.
