Preparation steps

1.

For the filling, drain tuna and flake finely with a fork. Finely chop capers and olives. Mix tuna, capers, olives, ricotta and lemon juice until creamy. Season filling with salt and pepper.

2.

Rinse zucchinis and cut off ends. Cut zucchinis lengthwise into very thin slices. Brush zucchini slices with oil, season lightly with salt and fry on a hot grill or in a grill pan about 5 minutes. Remove zucchini slices to a work surface, spread each slice with 1-2 tablespoons filling and roll up.

3.

Briefly blanch chives separately in boiling water and tie around zucchini rolls to serve.
