MIDDLE EASTERN WARM ZUCCHINI DIP

This recipe is a very flavorful recipe that is healthy and easy. When making traditional stuffed zucchini, the inside of the zucchini is set aside for later use and this is how its used. I sometimes just buy zucchini just to make this dish. You need the long green zucchini for this recipe. This recipe is usually a side dish at our table.* You may want to cut down on the amount of Maggi, or add it in increments until the desired amount of saltiness is achieved*

This is traditionally called hummus, and I can't get enough of it. You can serve this with pita bread triangles (I use Recipe #362708), but I actually like to use raw celery and carrot sticks.
