Zucchini has always proven to be one of the most plentiful harvests of the summer months. You know this to be true if you’ve ever planted it in your own garden. And while you often you hear people speak of the same few ways in which to use up the abundance of this summer vegetable, it really is much more versatile than the traditional stuffed zucchini, or zucchini bread.

Our friend and Contributing Editor Anna Franklin gives us a fine example of how to easily use this squash. Try it in a quick side dish, a starter, or an appetizer. Plus, you’ll want to serve it with a fresh baguette or a crusty loaf of bread.

What is Tahini?

Tahini is a tangy condiment that uses ground sesame seeds and is a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. It’s a paste with a rich, nutty flavor and a smooth, creamy texture. You’ll see it is used in a variety of cultural dishes, from hummus and baba ganoush to salad dressings, sauces, and marinades. It’s a great source of protein and healthy fats, making it a nutritious addition to any meal.
