Description

Discover a light, healthy, and gluten-free alternative to traditional tortillas! Our zucchini wraps are an innovative dish that delights with flavor, appearance, and nutritional value. The base consists of flexible, delicate pancakes made from grated zucchini and almond flour, which, after baking, are perfect for rolling. The filling hides a velvety, creamy mixture based on high-protein cottage cheese, combined with the freshness of chives, dill, and the crunch of radishes. This dish is the essence of summer – fresh, light, and full of vitamins. It is perfect as an elegant appetizer at a party, a nutritious second breakfast, a light lunch for work, or a healthy dinner. Its beautiful green color and contrasting white filling make it a feast for the eyes as well.

Preparation steps

Zucchini Fritters (Wraps)

1

Thoroughly wash the zucchinis under running water and dry them with a paper towel. Cut off the tough ends from both sides. Grate the whole zucchinis (with the skin) on a coarse grater into a large bowl.

Ingredients: Zucchini
Use a standard kitchen grater (also known as a box grater). Do not peel the zucchini – the skin contains a lot of fiber and vitamins, and also gives the wraps a beautiful green color.
2

Sprinkle the zucchini with a pinch of salt and gently mix with your hands. Set the bowl aside for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the salt will 'draw out' excess water from the vegetable. After this time, you will notice that liquid has collected at the bottom of the bowl. Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, wrap it into a pouch, and squeeze very hard over the sink until you remove as much juice as possible. The zucchini should become significantly drier and firmer.

Ingredients: Zucchini, Salt
This is the most important step! The better you squeeze the zucchini, the firmer and less watery the wraps will be. Don't skip this stage. Use a strong cotton cloth that won't tear.
3

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) or 200°C (top-bottom). Transfer the well-drained zucchini to a dry bowl. Crack in the eggs, add the almond flour and a pinch of pepper. Mix everything thoroughly with a fork or spoon until all the ingredients combine into a uniform mass. The mixture should be thick and sticky.

Ingredients: Chicken egg, Almond flour, Ground black pepper
Make sure the bowl is completely dry. Mix vigorously to ensure the eggs combine well with the other ingredients, creating a binder for the wraps.
4

Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Brush the paper with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent the wraps from sticking. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Place each part on the paper and use the back of a spoon or a damp hand to shape it into a thin, round disc with a diameter of about 15-18 cm and a thickness of 3-4 mm.

Ingredients: Olive oil
Do not form the pancakes too thin, as they may tear when rolling. Keep space between the pancakes on the baking sheet. Wetting your hands with water will help spread the mixture without sticking to your hands.
5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The wraps are ready when their edges are slightly browned, and the surface is dry to the touch and firm. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the wraps cool completely on the sheet for at least 10 minutes. Only after cooling, gently peel them off the paper.

Do not try to peel off the hot wraps, as they are very delicate and will definitely tear! Patience is key. Once cooled, they become more flexible.

Creamy Filling and Assembly

6

While the wraps are baking and cooling, prepare the filling. Wash the chives, dill, and radishes. Finely chop the chives and dill. Grate the radishes on a coarse grater or cut them into very small cubes. Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press or chop it very finely.

Ingredients: Radish, Chives, Dill, Garlic
Use a sharp knife to chop the herbs so that they don't get crushed and retain their full aroma. A garlic press will ensure that its flavor is evenly distributed in the filling.
7

In a medium-sized bowl, place the cottage cheese. Add the chopped herbs, grated radish, pressed garlic, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you like spicier flavors, now is the time to add the optional chili flakes. Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon until you achieve a uniform, creamy mixture.

Ingredients: Cottage cheese, Lemon juice, Salt, Ground black pepper, Chili flakes
If the cottage cheese is very watery, you can drain it in a fine sieve for a few minutes beforehand. Taste the filling before seasoning and adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your own preferences.
8

When the zucchini fritters are completely cool and detached from the paper, you can start assembling the wraps. Spread about 1/4 of the prepared filling evenly on each fritter, leaving about 1 cm of free margin at one edge to make rolling easier. If you are using optional smoked salmon, place its pieces on top of the layer of cheese.

Ingredients: Smoked salmon
Spread the filling gently to avoid damaging the structure of the wrap. Do not apply too thick a layer, as it will spill out while rolling.
9

Start rolling the wrap from the side with the filling spread all the way to the edge towards the empty margin. Roll gently but firmly, creating a neat cylinder. Repeat the process with the remaining wraps and filling.

Do not squeeze the wrap too tightly while rolling, so the filling doesn't spill out. A gentle, even pressure is enough.
10

Serve the wraps immediately after preparation. For a striking appearance, you can cut each wrap in half, slightly on the diagonal, using a very sharp knife. Arrange them on a plate and garnish with fresh dill leaves.

Using a sharp knife is key to achieving a clean cut without crushing the delicate wrap. Serving them cut in half exposes the appetizing filling.

Fun Fact

💡

Although zucchini is treated as a vegetable in the kitchen, from a botanical point of view, it is a fruit, specifically a berry! It belongs to the same family as pumpkins, melons, and cucumbers.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Wraps taste best when fresh, with flexible tortillas and a cool, crunchy filling. They can be served with an extra portion of natural yogurt or a light garlic sauce. They look beautiful arranged on a platter and garnished with fresh herbs.

🥡 Storage

This dish is best enjoyed immediately. Storing assembled wraps will cause the tortillas to become soggy from the filling. If you need to prepare them in advance, store the baked tortillas and filling separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Assemble the wraps just before serving.
