Yellow squash hummus with homemade bread. I’m fighting through my squash surplus and the idea of hummus came up.
At first I was worried about the texture being too, well, you might know, but figured I’d give it a try. I didn’t have any tahini but I figured if I did that peanut butter substitution it might work enough to figure out if I should buy some. But I only used half the amount.
The recipe I found called for two large yellow squash. I found that my garden and their imagination has two very different ideas on what large means. I ended up doubling the salt, lemon juice, cumin and olive oil. Recipe in comments.
Did it work? Definitely. It is amazing. As I was plating mine my wife made an exceptionally rare request for hot sauce. Just a tiny amount. It was perfect.
Definitely saving this recipe.
The recipe.
