A simple delicious recipe for Zucchini Hummus- a bean free alternative to hummus, similar to baba ganoush, but using zucchini instead of eggplant! Even if babaganoush recipe are on the right track, you will still get run over if you just sit there.
Zucchini Hummus is on the menu today! Grilled or roasted, the zucchini is pureed with fresh garlic cloves, lemon juice, herbs and tahini paste. You can even substitute avocado for the sesame paste! Simple and fast, it can be served warm or cold.
Use it to dip soft grilled pita bread, or spread it in a wrap with grilled meat or veggies. It makes for a delicious, gluten-free, low carb, vegan spread, dip or side. If you are using mammoth-sized zucchini, you may not want to use the tough skin. Halve them and roast them well, then scoop out the tender flesh. With smaller sized zucchini, the skin is thin and easily blended up. Slice and grill the zucchini, or roast in the oven. Grilling the zucchini gives the zucchini hummus an earthy smoky flavor which I especially love.
