Ingredients
  • 5 small organic zucchini
  • 3 tbsp olive oil infused with garlic
  • 2 thumb-sized red jalapeno chili peppers, seeds removed and thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. fresh goat cheese
  • handful fresh mint leaves
  • 2 small handfuls baby arugula
  • small bunch fresh chives (optional)

Directions
  1. Heat the broiler or stovetop grill to high (I used a KRUPS panini machine). Cut the zucchini into lengthwise slices, about 1/4-inch thick. Brush with 2 tbsp garlic infused olive oil and broil/grill on both sides until zucchini have grill stripes.
  2. Heat remaining oil in a frying pan, and soften chili peppers for about 2 minutes over medium heat. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Drop chives in water, and immediately remove with a slotted spoon then dry on paper towels.
  4. Spread each zucchini slice with about 1 tsp goat cheese, then place mint leaf over, and place arugula and a chili sliver so that they will stick up. Gently roll the slice, and tie a chive around the roll (Note: the zucchini in my photo held together without a chive tied around it). Trim chives ends if necessary. Refrigerate or serve immediately.
