Saturday Do-It-Yourself – Pumpkin Hummus

My Swag name is Rebafan99 and I would like to submit a recipe for Pumpkin Hummus.  I enjoy anything with pumpkin and I am a big fan of hummus, so why not an easy recipe that incorporates both?  You can make this any time of year with canned pumpkin, but I enjoy roasting fresh pumpkin and using it in place of canned pumpkin.  You can adjust the garlic and seasonings to your liking.  I hope you enjoy it!

Pumpkin Hummus

2 tbsp tahini

2 tsp oil (I use olive oil)

2 tsp cumin powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 large can (19 oz/540 ml) chick peas, drained and rinsed

2 cups pumpkin puree (not pie filling)

2 cloves garlic, minced

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/8 tsp each allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg

Combine and puree all ingredients until smooth.  Best chilled a couple hours to enhance the mixture of flavors.  Serve with chips and/or vegetables.

Cheers!
