Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 2 chipotle chilies in adobo
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Method
 

  1. Combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, pumpkin puree, and 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a food processor. Puree until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Finely chop the 2 chipotle chilies from the adobo sauce.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the chopped chipotle chilies with the grated garlic, honey, cinnamon, cayenne powder, cumin, and oregano. Mix well to create the flavor paste.
