We’ve all tried a variety of hummus dips from red pepper to roasted garlic but I’m sure you’ve never tried pumpkin hummus. It’s a very interesting twist on an old recipe. Feel free to experiment with this…my next attempt will be to add all the pumpkin pie seasonings to the hummus. I know it sounds weird…I cringed as I added cinnamon to my hummus, but at the end it turned out great!
1 cup of cooked pumpkin
1 cup of chickpeas
1-2 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp olive oil (optional)
3-4 Tbsp tahini
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more to taste)
1/2 Tbsp agave nectar
3-4 dates
1 tsp Thai green curry paste (can be found in most Asian section of grocery stores)
Blend all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Serve with bread and veggies.

Pumpkin hummus! I LOVE it!!! I think I will share your blog post with my readers too. Hope life is good where you are these days, and happy Halloween and early Tofurky day! :) -J
