A delightful blend of quinoa and pumpkin adds a nutritious twist to classic hummus. The creamy texture and rich flavors make it an ideal dip or spread for various occasions.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa, rinsed. 2 cups water. 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed. 1 cup pumpkin puree. 1/4 cup tahini. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Juice of 1 lemon. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed. In a food processor, combine cooked quinoa, chickpeas, pumpkin puree, tahini, garlic, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with extra olive oil, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pita chips, vegetable sticks, or as a spread for sandwiches.
