Number Of Ingredients 7

3 medium zucchinis
3 cups raw spinach
1/4 cup silken tofu
4 leaves fresh basil or to taste
4 tablespoons tahini
Lemon zest
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Slice the zucchinis and toss with sea salt and lemon zest. Make sure they are thoroughly coated. Steam the zucchini slices. I use a ceramic bowl covered in the microwave for 6 minutes. While the zucchini steams, take the raw spinach leaves and the basil and grind them up finely in a food processor. You should be left with about a cup of chopped greens. Place these in a bowl. Take the steamed zucchini slices and the 1/2 of tofu and place in the food processor. It is fine if the zucchini is still warm. Blend until they are a paste and add to the bowl. You can blend less if you want it to be chunky. Mix the greens and the zucchini paste in the bowl by hand. Add in your tahini as you stir. Sprinkle with some more sea salt and lemon zest to taste Garnish with radicchio, radishes, tomatoes and serve with pita or crackers. Makes four servings, or about 8 ounces.
