make the rolls

Cut the Zucchini in thin, lengthy slices. Spread the slices out on kitchen towels and spread Salt on them to soften them up. Let them sit like that for 20 minutes. Mix the Yellow onion and Garlic with the Minced meat Pour 2.0 tablespoon of Sunflower oil into a pan and fry the meat mixture in it on medium high heat until it browns. Add Black pepper as per your liking. Pour the Tomato sauce into a casserole. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Dry the Zucchini slices with paper towels. Then spread Ricotta on every slice. Add a bit of the fried mixture on every Ricotta covered Zucchini slice, roll it up, and put it upright into the Tomato sauce filled casserole. Spread some Olive oil over the Zucchini rolls in the casserole. Put the casserole into the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes.

cook the side

Measure the Buckwheat in cups, then transfer it to a pot. Add the same amount of Water to the pot. Boil up the Water with the Buckwheat in it, add a bit of Salt and immediately switch to low heat - let it simmer with a closed lid until all Water has evaporated.

Tips

You can replace the Minced meat with plant-based minced meat to have a vegetarian meal.
If buckwheat is not to your liking, you can serve rice as a side instead.
