Grilled Summer Squash Roll-Ups with Mediterranean Olive Filling

 

4 small yellow summer squash and/or zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch

slices

olive oil for brushing

fine kosher or sea salt and pepper to taste

 

Mediterranean Olive Filling:

1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives

1/4 cup chopped green olives

8 ounces crumbled feta cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

 

Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Brush the squash strips with olive oil, then

season to taste with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix together the Mediterranean

Olive Filling ingredients and set aside.

Get good grill marks on both sides of the squash slices, about 1 to 2 minutes

per side. When they're still warm from the grill, place about 1 tablespoon of

the olive filling on the end third of a grilled squash slice and roll up. If you

wish, secure each roll with a toothpick. Arrange the roll-ups on a platter.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 4.
