Moroccan Pumpkin Hummus - 17.6g Carbs, 5.2g Fiber, 3.6g Sugar
From: Quick-Fix Vegan by Robin Robertson 2011
The Moroccan Pumpkin Hummus from Quick-Fix Vegan is a Fall favorite. It looks like autumn to me, and its fragrant spices and great flavors are captivating. By virtue of sticking within the "30 minutes or less" rule of Quick-Fix Vegan, the original recipe calls for canned pumpkin, which works just fine. If you happen to have some leftover roasted squash on hand, especially, one of the densely rich orange varieties such as kabocha, buttercup, or even butternut, then you're in for a special treat. Just substitute 1 cup of fresh cooked squash or pumpkin for the canned pumpkin to make this hummus! This colorful and spice-happy take on hummus will turn heads and wake up taste buds at your next gathering. If you prefer great flavor without the heat, just leave out the cayenne. Serve with pita chips.
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp tahini
1 cup home-cooked OR canned chickpeas
1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin OR fresh cooked winter squash or pumpkin!
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp pistachios, chopped for garnish
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, turmeric, cayenne, and sugar and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tahini and chickpeas, and then remove from the heat. Stir in the pumpkin, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl and sprinkle the pistachios on top. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed. The flavor improves if it is allowed to sit for a few hours.
