Recipe - Herbed Zucchini Spirals

3 Zucchini; scrubbed
2 cup Parsley sprigs
1 Garlic cloves; or to taste,
up to
; 2
2/3 cup Walnuts
3 tablespoon Freshly grated Parmesan

Using a mandoline or similar slicing device cut the zucchini lengthwise
into 1/8inch slices. Arrange the slices on a steamer rack set over
simmering water and steam them, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they
are just tender. (The zucchini slices should be barely flexible enough to
roll. They will soften more as they cool.) In a food processor purée
the parsley, the garlic, the walnuts, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, and
salt to taste until the mixture is smooth. Arrange the zucchini slices on a
work surface and dot each slice along its length with a heaping teaspoon of
the purée. Roll up each slice jellyroll fashion and fasten the
spirals with wooden picks, Arrange the spirals in a shallow baking dish,
sprinkle them with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan, and bake them in
the upper third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 5 minutes, or until the
cheese is melted and the spirals are heated through.

Serves 6.
