Creamy, smoky, garlicky and packed with flavor. The zucchini gets deeply golden in the pan before being blended with tahini, lemon and garlic, then finished with toasted walnuts, fresh parsley, chili flakes and a generous drizzle of olive oil.

And don’t waste that flavorful pan — use it to crisp up some bread for dipping.

Ingredients

For the dip:

* 2 medium zucchini
* ~20 ml extra virgin olive oil, for searing
* 1 tbsp tahini
* 2 garlic cloves
* Juice of ½ lemon
* ½ tsp Guérande sea salt
* Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
* 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

For topping:

* A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
* A small handful of walnuts, lightly toasted and roughly crushed
* Fresh parsley, finely chopped
* Chili flakes

For serving:

* Bread
* A little extra virgin olive oil
* Garlic

Method

1. Prep the zucchini. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Lightly score the cut sides in a shallow crosshatch/diamond pattern with a sharp knife. Don’t cut all the way through.
2. Sear. Heat about 20 ml olive oil in a large pan. Place the zucchini cut-side down and cook until deeply golden and nicely charred. Press them firmly against the pan with a spatula — or weigh them down with another pan — so as much of the surface as possible stays in contact with the heat.
3. Flip and cook the other side until the zucchini are completely tender and well browned.
4. Blend. Transfer the cooked zucchini to a blender. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper and 2 tbsp olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, with a consistency somewhere between a dip and a thick pesto.
5. Plate. Spread the dip onto a plate, using the back of a spoon to create a shallow well and swirls in the surface. Drizzle olive oil into the well.
6. Finish with the lightly toasted crushed walnuts, fresh parsley and chili flakes.
7. Make the crispy bread. Keep all those browned zucchini bits in the pan. Add a little olive oil and garlic, then toast the bread directly in the same pan until golden and crispy.

Serve immediately and scoop generously.
