Nutritional values

1 roulade covers about 80 percent of the daily zinc requirement. Zinc has many functions for the body and is particularly important for the skin and good defences; the mineral also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Instead of pesto, you can spread the roulades with tomato or pepper paste. If you like it spicier, add an onion cut into fine strips and chopped garlic to the filling.
