Ingredients

  • 1 extra large zucchini
  • 1 small can white beans
  • 8 canned anchovies
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 sprigs thyme or oregano
  • Olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Sumac - optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 380°F.
  • Slice the zucchini 4" thick. Use a cookie cutter or knife to core the seedy part.
  • Put the sliced zucchini on a baking tray. Stuff the zucchini cavity with beans, garlic, anchovy and thyme and drizzle about 1 tablespoon oil in each slice.
  • Crumple a baking paper and cover the zucchini. Bake for 50 minutes. The zucchini should be tender. Remove the paper and broil for 5 minutes, to brown the dish slightly.
  • Make the tahini: Combine the tahini, lemon juice and ½ cup water in a small blender.
  • Serve: Smear the tahini on a plate and place the stuffed zucchini over it. Garnish with sumac.
