Zucchini Baba Ghanoush

1. 1

   Start by heating your grill.

2. 2

   If you have charcoal, go that direction to infuse smoke flavor into the zucchini.

3. 3

   Turn zucchini every 15 minutes, and cook over direct heat until skin is completely charred.

4. 4

   Once zucchini is completely charred and softened, remove to a plate and let cool.

5. 5

   Once cooled, carefully remove the charred skin.

6. 6

   Using a fork, gently mash zucchini to remove any excess water.

7. 7

   Trust me, these things are juicy, and you do not want a watery zucchini baba ghanoush.

8. 8

   Strain liquid, and then add tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil.

9. 9

   Mash well with a fork to achieve desired texture.

10. 10

    I like mine a bit smooth with subtle chunks of zucchini.
