Sometimes I get ideas during yoga class.  I know, thoughts come, thoughts go, but this one thought, I decided to act upon it.

We have several do’s coming up; last year I made some zucchini-tomato rollups to take to these events.  I sliced the zucchini with a potato peeler.  That took awhile………..  :-)

After my class I entered a kitchen store and bought a mandoline.  Of course, I had to try it out right away so I bought a couple of zucchini on the way home.  Wow, what a difference.  At first I didn’t even realize it was cutting, the blade is so sharp. 

 

 

 I salted the slices and left them for awhile.  I put some cashews to soak.  Later in the afternoon, I grated some carrots and made a cashew cream, then filled the rolls.  A touch of cumin brought an interesting note.

 

 For the cashew cream:
1 cup cashews, soaked a couple hours, rinsed and drained
1 clove garlic, de-germed
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon tamari
½ cup water

Blend until smooth in high speed blender.

I used about 2 tablespoons of this with two medium size grated carrots and about ½ teaspoon ground cumin.

It is a Zyliss.  There was a smaller one that would have been cheaper, but I wanted to be able to cut the zucchini longways, so I got this one which cost 40€.  It is guaranteed for 5 years.

Looks yumi- thanks for sharing!

Looks wonderful!  What kind of mandoline did you buy?

Actually I don't think there would be a problem with eating the whole plate alone.  It contains 2 zucchini, 2 carrots and 2 tablespoons cashew cream.
