GRILLED ZUCCHINI HUMMUS

Grilled Zucchini Hummus image

If you can't find toasted/roasted tahini, it's okay to use regular tahini. Recipe from LaCucinadiKait.com and modified in a local publication. Option: when preparing the test recipe, I set aside a small amount of the zucchini puree replacing the Spanish smoked paprika with sumac.

Categories Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb zucchini (I prefer the smaller ones because they are less "seedy")
1/4 cup roasted tahini (sesame seed butter)
3 -4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon spanish smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste

Steps:

Heat a grill to high. Use an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs to lightly oil the grill grates.
Trim the ends from the zucchini, then slice it in half lengthwise.
If the seeds are large and watery, use a melon baller or small spoon to scrape out and discard most of the seeds from the center of each half.
It's not critical to get them all. If the inside of the zucchini appears firm and the seeds small, you don't need to scrape them out.
Place the zucchini on the grill, cut side up, then reduce heat to low.
Cook for 10 minutes, or until just lightly browned and starting to get tender.
Set aside to cool.
When the zucchini has cooled enough to handle, place it in a food processor.
Add the roasted tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika and salt. Process for 1 minute, or until very smooth.
The hummus can be served immediately, or chilled to serve later. Bring to room temperature before serving though.
Note: this hummus will thicken slightly as it chills.

Tips:

For the best smoky flavor, grill the zucchini over medium-high heat.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the zucchini in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes, or until tender.
To make the hummus extra creamy, use canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas.
If you don't have tahini on hand, you can substitute peanut butter or almond butter.
Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the hummus for a tangy flavor.
Garnish the hummus with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or mint.
Serve the hummus with pita bread, crackers, or vegetable crudités.

Conclusion:

Grilled zucchini hummus is a delicious and healthy appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy zucchini, give this recipe a try!
