Middle Eastern Zucchini Dip

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Enjoy with bread and veggies.
