Chipotle Zucchini & Fennel Dip

Chipotle Zucchini & Fennel Dip

Zucchini is the most versatile of squashes. It can be fried, roasted, baked into bread, served fresh with salad, and the list goes on. Its springy texture absorbs flavor exceptionally well, and its subtle bitterness is highlighted best with a zesty sweetness (which is probably why it tastes so good with a little sprinkle of lemon juice). But for every zucchini lover, there is a loather who needs to see the light. Farro presents a way to disguise zucchini in plain sight.
