Middle Eastern Zucchini Dip 

olive oil

zucchini

salt

tbsp yogurt (greek

tbsp tahini

garlic clove, pressed

lemon, juiced

tsp mint, dried

Water

Pomegranate

Chilli peppers

Mirco herbs

Heat a large saucepan on medium-high heat, then add oil. Once the oil begins to simmer from the heat, add the zucchini.

Saute the zucchini until golden brown and soft. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking on both sides.

Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt sauce. Combine yogurt, tahini, garlic, mint and lemon. Mix well.

If the yogurt sauce is too thick, add 2 tbsp of water at a time to thin out the sauce. You&#8217;re looking for a thick yet pourable constancy.

Once the zucchini is golden and soft, transfer to a serving bowl. Mash the zucchini with a fork to a chunky constancy

Pour on the yogurt sauce. You have two choices at this stage you stir the yogurt and zucchini together like a tzatziki sauce or layer like I did in the photos.

Top the dip with pomegranate seed, chilli peppers, microgreens, or whatever you would like.

I'm so glad I made this zucchini dip instead of the baba ganoush I was thinking of making. It was a delicious change of pace from the old, boring routine.

Yummy! This looks so delicious and tasty! I can't wait to give this a try!

I LOVE zucchini and I'm a huge fan of dips of all kinds, so I can't wait to try this one out! Looks absolutely delicious :)

I've never heard of this. It looks a little like baba ganoush, but I love zucchini more than eggplant, so I think this might be my new favorite!

This creamy roasted zucchini dip is flavored with refreshing fresh dill and lemon to create a delicious dip perfect for summer!

Lemon &amp; Dill Roasted Zucchini Dip

Zucchini Dip Recipe

zucchini (1 1/2 lbs,

garlic

lemon juice, add more to taste

tahini paste (or sub ½ an avocado)

salt,

cumin

½ tsp cracked pepper

herbs

yogurt.

If grilling or roasting, cut zucchini into 1/3-inch thick strips, brush with olive oil, season with salt. If sauteeing the zucchini, either dice or shred.

Grill

Place on a greased grill over medium heat until charred and translucent. Roast: place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, roast in a 400F oven until tender and translucent, about 20 minutes. (If you have very large zucchini with thick skin, you can half it lengthwise, roast in the oven, and then scoop out the flesh, leaving the skin out.). Saute: Heat an extra-large skillet over medium heat with olive oil, season with salt and saute until translucent, tender and falling apart, about 15 minutes. 

Blend

Place the cooked zucchini and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor, and puree until relatively smooth. Taste and adjust salt and lemon to taste—stir in a little yogurt for extra creaminess.

Serve

Place it in a serving bowl, making a little circular &#8220;well&#8221; using a spoon, and drizzle a little olive oil in the well, sprinkle with Zaatar or Dukkah, and fresh herbs and serve either warm or chilled.

Very creamy and delicious. I roasted my zucchini (they were large) with olive oil and Herbes de Provence and scooped them out of the skin after roasting.  I added basil, thyme and oregano when I processed the mixture.  I thought it needed a little something more, so I added Zaatar spices at the end - amazing! This recipe is a keeper.

Perfect and delicious! I had a few quite large zucchini (friends with a farmer) so quartered lengthwise, seeded, then sliced inch thin strips, EVOO and broiled. Didn't remove skin before blending and it was better than hummus! As stated, like babaganoush but somewhere in between. It's great, highly recommended! Eat your zucchini!
