Today we wanted to make something with vegetables, grilled zucchini. During our summer barbecue video shoot, our hobby chef made a recipe with a French base and North African influences. A hummus.

The typical French lunch starts with a cold starter such as a salad and of course baguette. And because zucchini is often found in French cuisine, this time we made it into a light lunch dish in the form of a summer hummus.

Easy recipe steps:

1. Toast 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds (attention!) briefly on a plate/pan and place aside.

2. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into ½ cm thick slices, brush with a little olive oil + sprinkle with Moroccan Rub, and grill over medium heat until charred and cooked through.

3. Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and place next to the courgettes to roast.

4. Once the zucchini are done, wrap them in foil for a few minutes to steam and tenderize them.

5. Mash the sesame seeds briefly in a mortar.

6. Set aside 2 large slices of zucchini. Put the rest of the grilled zucchini together with the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and puree until relatively smooth.
