Ingredients
- 2 zucchini
- 2 eggs

- 200 g (7 oz) breadcrumbs
- Salt to taste
For the sauce:
- 3 tbsp sour cream or mayonnaise
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini lengthwise, salt the slices, let them rest briefly, then pat dry.
- Dip each slice in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs, and pan-fry for about 1 minute per side until golden and crisp.
- Mix the sour cream or mayonnaise with the garlic, coriander, salt, and pepper to make the sauce.
- Spread each zucchini slice with sauce, add a tomato slice, and roll up.
Tips
- Slice the zucchini evenly so the rolls cook at the same rate.
- Rest the salted slices for 10 minutes, then pat them dry for maximum crispiness.
- Serve the garlic sauce chilled for the best flavor.
