Ingredients

  • 1/2 small/med pumpkin, roasted with oil until soft
  • 15 ml Olive oil
  • 15 ml sunflower oil
  • 1 tin chickpeas- save the water
  • 1 tin aquafaba (reserved from the chickpeas above)
  • 1/2 red chilli
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tbsp garlic purée ( or 2 cloves garlic- preferrably roasted)
  • 90 g tahini
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Add all the hummus ingredients apart from the aquafaba and pumpkin in a food processor and blend.

  2. Slowly add the aquafaba and blend continuously. Add the pumpkin one it has completely cooled

  3. Blend until smooth (roughly 5 mins on high speed), taste and add more lemon/cumin/chilli (for an extra boost of flavour if you prefer), or olive oil for it to be more runny/creamy.

  4. Enjoy with some sliced carrots/red pepper/pita etc, and try your best not to eat it all at once!
