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.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I really liked this hummus. The zucchini flavor is very subtle and the hummus is very creamy.

This grilled zucchini hummus is a delicious and healthy summer appetizer or snack. The zucchini is grilled to perfection and gives the hummus a smoky flavor. The hummus is also very creamy and flavorful, thanks to the tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.
