Ingredients Method Notes

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

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.
  4. Stir about half of the chipotle-garlic-spice mixture into the smooth hummus in the food processor. Pulse a few times to incorporate.
  5. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Spoon the remaining chipotle mixture over the top of the hummus.
  6. Drizzle generously with additional extra virgin olive oil before serving.

Notes

- Use real pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chipotle chilies to control the spice level.
- For an extra smooth texture, let the food processor run a bit longer.
- Garnish with toasted pepitas for a delightful crunch.
