Ingredients
- 1-2 zucchini about 26 ounces total, ends trimmed and cut into large chunks
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt coarse
- Pinch chili powder
Instructions
- Steam the zucchini chunks in the microwave or in a steamer basket on the stovetop until the zucchini is translucent and tender. Pour the zucchini into a colander and drain very well.
- Add the zucchini and all the other ingredients to the bowl of a food processor (I think it would probably be fine processed in a blender, also) and blend until the desired consistency is reached. I like it fairly smooth.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled with sliced vegetables and pretzels.
Notes
- Tahini: is a paste made from sesame seeds used to make hummus, among other things. It is similar in texture and consistency to natural peanut butter (so make sure to give it a good stir before using). It is usually pretty easily found in most grocery stores (or when I lived in a very small town, I found it on amazon).
- Substitutions: I haven't subbed peanut butter or any other type of ground nut spread for the tahini so I'm not sure how it would affect the taste/consistency of the hummus.
