Great Pumpkin Hummus

Updated: 5 days ago

This one is a KHOU Great Day Houston (and now website) exclusive. You won't see it in my best-selling cookbook, however my book has, of course, a frightful number of other great Halloween recipes for you to stir up in your cauldron!

Great Pumpkin Hummus

Makes about 24 servings

 

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained

1 cup canned pumpkin purée, or puréed pumpkin guts (no seeds)

½ cup tahini

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Juice of one lemon

2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon coarse salt

Toasted pumpkin seeds, for garnish*

Paprika, for garnish

 

In food processor, blend all ingredients except seeds & paprika till smooth. Stow in the fridge for 3 or 4 hours for flavors to combine. Even better the next day! Garnish with seeds and paprika. Serve with pita chips or crudités.

 

*Heat oven to 350°F. On cookie sheet, spread seeds. Spray or brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper, paprika. Roast 15 minutes, tossing them every 5 minutes for more even roasting.

On Tuesday, October 15, 2024, I was fortunate to be able to enjoy my very first visit with the wonderful Deborah Duncan on Great Day Houston! We talked about (and enjoyed) my Spooky Salmon Goo-Ga-Loo, my Great Pumpkin Hummus, and my Halloween Pumpkin Punch.
