Instructions

1. Prepare the sauce first.
2. Cut tomatoes, onion, and garlic into smaller pieces and blend in a blender.
3. Pour the tomato mixture into a pot, add spices, salt, and a spoonful of vinegar.
4. Stirring occasionally, cook until done, letting enough water evaporate from the sauce.
5. Cut zucchini lengthwise into thin slices with a knife or peeler. The slices do not have to be perfectly thin, if you can bend them, then it’s okay.
6. In a grilling pan, roast these zucchini slices on both sides until tender, approximately 2 minutes on each side.
7. In a different pan (or the same one after roasting the zucchini), broil chicken breasts (cut into pieces).
8. Spice them up to taste.
9. When done, remove from heat, sprinkle with grated cheese, and let the cheese melt.
10. Spread every zucchini slice with approximately 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese.
11. Place a piece of chicken breast close to the edge of each zucchini slice, and roll.
12. If rolls are falling apart, either they are too thin or too thick – pierce the rolls with a skewer.
13. Remove the sauce from heat, fold in fresh herbs, and pour over the rolls.
