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.

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:

Choose fresh and tender zucchini: Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is bruised or has blemishes.
Roast the zucchini before adding it to the hummus: Roasting the zucchini intensifies its flavor and gives the hummus a smoky, caramelized taste.
Use a food processor or blender to make the hummus: This will ensure that the hummus is smooth and creamy.
Season the hummus to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or garlic powder.
Serve the hummus with your favorite dippers: Pita bread, crackers, vegetables, or chips are all great options.

Conclusion:

Zucchini hummus is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant green color and creamy texture, zucchini hummus is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
