GRILLED ZUCCHINI HUMMUS
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.

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.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI SANDWICH
I put this together one night after work. I'm trying a new thing where I only eat meat one meal a day, and I'd already eaten chicken for lunch. When I got home from work my dad had made steak, so instead I used the grilled zucchini side dish and made a sandwich. The zucchini has the texture of a meat like sliced turkey or ham, so it feels like you're not stuck with a pile of veggies between bread. The hummus is a nice protien to keep your meal well rounded. The cook time is for the zucchini

Steps:
- You can toast the bread, but I didn't. Spread the hummus on one slice of the bread and the mustard on the other slice.
- Layer the grilled zucchini, tomato slices, and lettuce between the bread.
- Salt and pepper to taste, but I think the hummus and mustard gives it a great flavor.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Zucchini: Select small to medium-sized zucchinis with a deep green color and firm texture. Avoid large ones, as they tend to have more seeds and a tougher texture.

- Marinate Zucchini: Marinating the zucchini slices in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances their taste. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Grill Zucchini: Grill the zucchini slices over medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Make Hummus: Follow the recipe provided in the article to make a smooth and creamy hummus. Use high-quality tahini and chickpeas for the best result.
