Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Roasted Red Hot Pepper, Chopped (See Instructions)
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree. Fresh Or Canned.
  • 1 teaspoon Allspice
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoons Red Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoons Cumin
  • 1/4 cups To 1/2 Cups Water, As Needed, Plus 1 Tablespoon, Divided
  • 1 cup Garbanzo Beans (or Chick Peas)
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Tahini
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 2 Tablespoons Pickled Ginger
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Method

  • Slice and core the hot pepper.
  • Place it on a cookie sheet and high broil in your oven until the skins turn black.
  • Put them in a plastic bag to steam for about 15 minutes.
  • While the peppers are roasting, put the pumpkin in a food processor.
  • Mix all of the dry spices and add it to the pumpkin; blend.
  • My pumpkin mix was not that smooth at this point, so I started adding water by the tablespoon.
  • I used about 1/2 cup all together.
  • In a separate dish, mix the tahini with the lemon juice.
  • It will start to curdle at first, then become smooth as you mix it.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of water to this mixture to help it become smooth.
  • Once the mix is smoothed out, add it to the pumpkin mixture and blend.
  • Add the cilantro, garlic and pickled ginger to the mixture and blend.
  • Your peppers should be about done.
  • I tried to peel the skin off mine and it didnt work, so I chopped them, skin on, and added them to the pumpkin mixture, then blended.
  • You will have to blend this quite a bit, stirring in between, to make sure you dont have any chunks of ginger or red pepper.
  • Once the mixture is smoothed out, add the honey and blend.
  • Last, add the olive oil and blend well.
  • Put the finished hummus in a sealed container in the fridge overnight.
  • The flavors will meld and it will be good to go the next day.
