The Origins and Popularity of the Recipe
This dish echoes traditional European meatloaf techniques blended with Mediterranean and Georgian flavors. The use of khmeli-suneli, a Georgian spice blend made with fenugreek, coriander, and marjoram, hints at Eastern European and Caucasus culinary roots. Zucchini rolls with ground meat fillings are commonly found in home kitchens across Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Central Asia, where meals are often hearty, protein-rich, and made to feed a family. The growing popularity of rolled meat dishes comes from their visual appeal and ability to incorporate vegetables, cheese, and aromatics all in one bite.
