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

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.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI SANDWICH



Grilled Zucchini Sandwich image

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

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 zucchini, sliced seasoned, and grilled
2 slices whole wheat bread
1 -2 tablespoon hot pepper hummus (I used Sonny & Joes)
sliced tomatoes
lettuce
mustard

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.

  • 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.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve the grilled zucchini with hummus as a dip, appetizer, or as a side dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs for extra flavor.
