Zucchini Baba Ghanoush

Directions

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.
