- Step 1We leave the cashews and walnuts soaking for 8 hours to hydrate them.
- Step 2We hydrated the dried tomatoes in very hot water for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, we wash the zucchini, cut it in half and, with the help of a mandolin or a peeler, cut into thin slices (about 2 or 3 mm thick, and about 8 cm long, approximately) each the halves. We reserve
- Step 3Once hydrated, we put nuts and dried tomatoes in the bowl of the chopper, add the onion, garlic, spices and salt, and chop well until everything is well mixed and chopped.
- Step 4On a clean and smooth surface, place 3 slices of zucchini lightly superimposed one on top of the other. We take a little filling with a spoon, place it on one of the ends of the "plate" formed with the zucchini slices, and roll up until there is a well formed cannelloni. This step we repeat until we have formed all the cannelloni.
- Step 5In the blender glass, we toss the cashews and add the water, the garlic, the nutmeg and the salt, and beat until you get a sauce with a creamy texture.
- Step 6Serve the cannelloni on a plate, add a little sauce on each of them and, if you like, sprinkle a little chopped walnut on top.
