Servings: 6

Ingredients

Zucchini
1 medium, grated
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
White beans
1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
Tahini
2 tablespoons
Olive oil
2 tablespoons, divided
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
Paprika
1/2 teaspoon
Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the grated zucchini and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. In a food processor, combine the cooked zucchini and garlic with the white beans, lemon juice, tahini, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of paprika for color.
  7. Serve with sliced vegetables, pita chips, or your favorite crackers.
