Recipe of the week:  Zucchini Rollatini


Ingredients
2 Large zucchini
1 cup Crumbled Goat cheese (Check labels but Trader Joe's should be GF)
1/8 cup Craisins
1/2 cup whole, shelled Pistachios (I buy these at Trader Joe's)
Salt and Pepper shakers
 Olive Oil

5. Sprinkle zucchini with salt/ pepper
6. Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan and heat on medium.
7. Cook Zucchini slices for 4 minutes (until brown) on each side- then set aside.
8. Lay zucchini slices flat, sprinkle goat cheese across zucchini leaving 1/2 an inch on each end. (Cover so that most of zucchini is covered with small open spots between pieces of cheese)

10. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Pistachio pieces across over goat cheese.
11.  Roll zucchini by starting at one end folding the empty part over and rolling it up.
