Although the heat has not completely gone away, we are in the middle of autumn and with it come new seasonal vegetables like pumpkin.
This cucurbit, full of flavor and versatility, is one of our favorite vegetables to prepare creams and purees. But today we are not going to give you more recipes for pumpkin cream. Today we are going to prepare an exquisite pumpkin hummus.
Although traditional hummus has chickpeas, For years now, the name of this Middle Eastern recipe has been used to describe any cold vegetable spread.
The magic of this recipe lies in its simplicity. Pumpkin comes together with ingredients like chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, plain yogurt and lemon juice to create a smooth and delicious paste. The process is quite simple: roast the pumpkin along with garlic, it is mixed with the rest of the ingredients in a food processor until it reaches a creamy consistency, and voilà, you have before you a pumpkin hummus ready to taste.
Pumpkin hummus is not only delicious, but also nutritious. The pumpkin is low in calories and rich in vitamins such as A and C, as well as essential minerals. On the other hand, chickpeas provide protein and fiber, which makes it a balanced snack. And don’t forget the contribution of olive oil, famous for its healthy fats. It is a very healthy option for a light dinner.
