What to do with all that extra summer squash (or eggplant)

Easy Garden Hummus
2 lb summer squash (or zucchini or eggplant) cut into 1-2" chunks
1/2 onion chopped about 1-2" chunks
4-5 cloves of garlic
Toss in olive oil with salt and pepper
Roast in oven 400 degrees about 15 minutes (until edges begin to brown)

1 can chick peas drained and in the food processor
Added roasted squash mixer and turn processor on
Squeeze in juice of 1 lemon
slowly pour in 1/3 cup olive oil directly to the mixer

Eat warm with chips or refrigerate for later!

I just made my third batch tonight, and I personally like it warm on salt and pepper pita chips.
 
YUM! I never seem to know what to do with all the zucchini we have during the summer, the stuff grows like weeds! I'm definitely going to try this.

Yum!
I have a summer squash just waiting for me to do something with it....

Vfem: what do you think about using roasted delicata squash?

I have some I roasted already like you described and was eating it as a room temp salad with some balsamic, but I am getting tired of it and have plenty left for hummus....

I do believe delicata is sweeter? But I have noticed the squash flavor is a backdrop to the lemon and garlic (I mean, I REALLY get in the garlic when I do it). In fact, last night I used a whole onion.... yummmmmmmmmmmmy

I say it wouldn't hurt to try anything new. I got out and try something new almost every time I cook. If I have extra's of something, you better believe I try to come up with 12 different things to do with it. I mean really.... who wants 20 loaves of zuchinni bread every summer?!

Oh yes, the first time I made it I posted in the "What to do with Zucchini?" Thread Wife posted, and I just posted it again the other day in "What is hummus?" Thread Smiles did. He had the rant about buying store bought hummus and how nasty it was. So I convinced him to make his own and he really ended up liking it!

I love changing people's views about food.
