In distant Japan, sushi technique is honed to perfection. Nothing is out of place, everything is in perfect balance. One could almost imagine that there is an exact number of rice grains proscribed for every piece of sushi, not a single more, or less.
We are not so tidy and organized here, and we like to cut corners, so we made our own version of sushi that we’re sure the Japanese would love.
Zucchini bites with ajvar and cheese have in fact no similarities with sushi whatsoever, other than at the first glance. Zucchini are the base for this dish. Low in calories, rich in nutrients. And most importantly for this recipe – just the shape we need.
Once we’ve prepared zucchini bites, we stuff them with ajvar and cheese of our choice, and place them in the oven. In just 10 minutes, we get tasty bites perfect as a snack, appetizer, or dinner.
