Ingredients

Garnish

Instructions

  • Using a hot grill (I used our charcoal grill for added smoky flavor), cook the zucchini until all sides are blackened. Use tongs to turn it every so often.
  • Once done, remove and place in a bowl and cover with foil and allow until easy to handle or room temperature. Once done, carefully remove all the outer charred skin, leaving the soft flesh.
  • Add zucchini flesh to food processor along with tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice and spices and pulse just a few times to mix everything together. Don't over mix or it will get too thin.
  • Once done, pour onto a shallow bowl and garnish with mint, spices, chopped nuts and a good drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Zucchini can be pretty watery and can thin out consistency. I like to drain any excess liquid after the zucchini have cooked.
Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
