Alkaline Recipe #75: Courgette Rolls with Pesto and Red Pepper Dip

courgette

This is a lovely summary snack, which is perfect as a light dish throughout the day or great if you are having friends around for a party.

Courgettes are alkaline and are rich in vitamins and minerals. They have a high water content and are low in calories. They are a good source of folate, potassium, and vitamins A and C.

I really like this dish as it does not only look good on the plate, but also contains delicious ingredients such as fresh herbs, garlic and crunchy pine nuts.

Courgette Rolls with Pesto and Red Pepper Dip

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 large or 2 small courgettes

For The Pesto Filling:

70g pine nuts
3 garlic cloves
1 handful fresh basil and parsley
50ml cold-pressed olive oil or Udo’s Choice Ultimate Oil Blend
A pinch of himalayan crystal salt and freshly ground pepper

For The Red Pepper Dip:

1 small red pepper
1 garlic clove, cut into fine pieces
3 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Himalayan Crystal Salt and freshly ground pepper to season

Instructions

Put all ingredients for the pesto filling into a mixer and mix all ingredients on a high setting until you get a creamy consistency.

With the help of a peeler “cut” the courgette into long and thin stripes. Put them onto a plate, brush over the pesto, roll together, insert a toothpick to hold the roll together and place them in upright position on a plate.

Put all ingredients for the pepper dip into the mixer. Season with salt and pepper.

You can either spread the pepper dip over the courgette rolls on the plate or alternatively serve it on a seperate bowl.

Enjoy!

    My son is an Aussie trained chef and has just come home from England after a three year stint. I saw this recipe and asked him to dish it up. He being an alkaline cooking kind of guy put it together in no time at all, and I got to say the dish didn’t make it to the table… Nice and refreshing after a day at the beach…yum!
