Description

This reimagined baba ganoush presents a delightful variation on the classic eggplant dip, offering a lighter and equally satisfying experience. Instead of eggplant, tender roasted zucchini forms the creamy foundation of this version, providing a delicate sweetness that complements the smoky undertones. The roasting process coaxes out the zucchini's natural sugars, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture that is both comforting and luxurious.

The flavor profile is carefully crafted with a blend of aromatic spices. Cumin lends its earthy warmth, while coriander adds a bright, citrusy note. Smoked paprika contributes a captivating smokiness that deepens the overall complexity, creating a harmonious balance of tastes that dance on the palate.

A touch of garlic provides a subtle pungency, further enhancing the savory character of the dip. This versatile dip is a wonderful accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Serve it alongside crisp raw vegetables, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, and celery sticks, for a refreshing and healthy snack.

It also pairs beautifully with warm pita bread or used as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. For a more substantial meal, consider using it as a flavorful topping for grilled chicken, fish, or lamb, adding a touch of Mediterranean flair to your plate. Whether you're looking for a flavorful party appetizer or a simple and satisfying snack, this zucchini-based baba ganoush is sure to please.

Its creamy texture, smoky flavor, and aromatic spices make it an irresistible addition to any gathering or meal. Enjoy it as a dip, a spread, or a topping – the possibilities are endless. Its vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients make it a guilt-free indulgence that you can enjoy any time of day.

Experience the taste of the Mediterranean with this unique and flavorful twist on a classic favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 395 degrees Fahrenheit.
    2.
    Cut the ends off the zucchini and slice in half lengthways. Arrange the halves flesh side down on a shallow oven tray and roast for 25 minutes or until the flesh is very soft. Set aside to cool.
    3.
    Add the garlic, tahini, half the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, cumin, coriander and paprika to a food processor. Once cool enough to handle, scoop the soft flesh from the zucchini, squeezing out as much excess liquid as possible, and add to the food processor.
    4.
    Pulse to combine until you have a semi smooth dip. Taste and adjust seasonings as required.
    5.
    To serve, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of smoked paprika.
