Paleo Sun Dried Tomato Hummus by Foraged Dish

3 tablespoons tahini
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
3 garlic cloves
3 small zucchini (about 2 cups chopped)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1 teaspoon olive oil
Pepper
Optional: Salt, if tomatoes are not pre-salted
Optional: minced rosemary and olive oil for garnish

I used homemade tahini & homemade oven-dried tomatoes.

Place the garlic cloves, in their papers, on a pan and in an oven preheated to 400°F. They should be roasted after about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool before handling. If your tomatoes need to be rehydrated, place them in a small bowl and cover with warm water.

Peel the zucchini (this is not a mandatory step, but the skins add a lot of green to the final dip color, which may look weird when combined with the red of the tomatoes). Chop them into 1-inch pieces. Place in blender.

Add the tahini, olive oil, and pepper to the blender. Once the tomatoes are softened, strain them and add them to the blender. Peel the papers off of the roasted garlic cloves, and add them as well. Blend on high for 2 minutes until pureed. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour, and if you need to add it, salt (most sun dried tomatoes are salty to begin with--taste yours, and decide if you will need this). Blend again, just until incorporated. Dip should be thick, slightly textured, but even. If it is too thin or watery, add another teaspoon or two of coconut flour, and pulse to combine. Scoop into serving bowl, sprinkle with rosemary and drizzle with olive oil.
