Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 15 oz pumpkin puree (note 1)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Chickpeas
- 15 oz can of chickpeas (reserve liquid)
- Approximately 1/3 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
Instructions
- Combine: In the base of a 7-cup food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine the pumpkin puree, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, and 1/4 cup of the reserved chickpea liquid. Process for one minute until the mixture is smooth and integrated.
- Add chickpeas: Add the chickpeas to the food processor. Blend for 1 minute on a low setting, gradually adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of the remaining chickpea liquid through the shoot to help achieve a creamy texture.
- Blend until creamy: Scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl to incorporate any stuck ingredients, then blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, adding additional chickpea liquid as needed to reach the desired smooth and creamy consistency.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chickpea liquid to achieve your preferred hummus consistency.
- This hummus pairs well with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
- Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
