Hummus (Raw, Bean-free)

from Living & Raw Foods

This is one of my all time favorite recipes I have come across!!!  I have always been a huge fan of hummus but when I discovered a recipe that was a raw hummus, I had to try it.  Instead of chickpeas it uses raw zucchini!  Crazy sounding, I know.  But I promise I have served this to many people and no one has ever suspected the main ingredient of this dish.  My children love this recipe as well and at least once a month we have "Hummus Night" where we will serve a big bowl of hummus and a bunch of veggies.  I have not, however, told them they are eating raw zucchini.  Some things are better left unsaid....

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini

1/4 cup olive oil

4 cloves garlic

2 tsp sea salt 

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

3/4 cup sesame seeds

3/4 cup tahini

1/4 tsp cayenne

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp cumin

Process zucchini, olive oil and garlic first in food processor.  Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth.

Enjoy!
