How to make pumpkin hummus
Equip yourself with a sharp knife and cut the cap of the pumpkin: pay attention to the blade when you do it. Remove the pumpkin seeds, then collect the pulp and set it aside (1).
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Put the pumpkin pulp cut into coarse pieces in a pan (2): season it with a drizzle of oil and some garlic cloves, then bake it in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the pulp becomes tender. Once ready, let the pulp cool.
Then put the pumpkin in the mixer together with the juices released in the pan and a clove of garlic: add the juice of half a lemon, the tahini and the chickpeas (3).
Season with salt and pepper to taste and blend until everything becomes a smooth cream: you can soften it, if necessary, with a tablespoon of oil or two fingers of water. Measure out the lemon juice as you like. Once the cream is ready, transfer it to a bowl and serve.
Advice
For this recipe you can also use pumpkin already cut into pieces: it will be faster and more practical. You can buy tahini in ethnic food stores, but also in some supermarkets: but try to make it at home, the result will be exceptional.
Flavour the pumpkin hummus as you like: aromatic herbs such as mint, lemon thyme or fresh parsley are very suitable. You can also add linseed or sunflower seeds to create a contrast between the consistency of the pumpkin and its crunchiness. In addition, you can store pumpkin seeds and use them to dress salads or fresh cheeses.
storage
You can keep pumpkin hummus for 2-3 days in the fridge, closed in an airtight container.
