1.
For Chickpea Puree:
2.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cumin and garlic; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chickpeas, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until chickpeas darken.
3.
Pour reserved chickpea liquid into a 2-cup measuring cup. If necessary, add enough water to measure 2 cups even. Add liquid to chickpea mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently until chickpeas begin to soften, about 8 to 10 minutes.
4.
Pour chickpea mixture into mesh strainer set over a pan or bowl; reserve chickpea liquid. Transfer chickpea mixture to the bowl of a food processor; add 3/4 cup of reserved chickpea liquid and remaining oil. Puree until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool.
5.
For Grilled Zucchini:
6.
Prepare the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. If using a grill basket heat that also.
7.
In a small nonreactive bowl, combine garlic, 1/4 cup oil, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir to incorporate.
8.
Brush the zucchini with the oil mixture. Arrange the zucchini the hot grate or in the grill basket, and grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until softened.
9.
To Serve:
10.
Spread chickpea puree on a serving platter and arrange grilled zucchini on top. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Can be served warm or cold.
