    Moroccan-Spiced Pumpkin Hummus

    By Alisa Fleming on October 13, 2014 Appetizers, Condiments and Salad Dressings, Dairy-Free Recipes, In The News

    Recipe Update! This pumpkin hummus is a guest post and recipe from Robin Robertson. Robin has penned over 20 plant-based cookbooks, including her latest vegan titles: Vegan Without Borders, Hot Vegan, and The Nut Butter Cookbook. 

    Beginning with Halloween on through to New Year’s Eve, there will no doubt be many occasions when you’ll need a quick and easy dip to serve with your favorite crackers or crisps. For a tasty new spin on a classic spread, try this Moroccan-spiced pumpkin hummus.

    Moroccan-Spiced Pumpkin Hummus (Naturally Vegan, Dairy-Free + Gluten-Free Recipe)

    Go Dairy Free - The Guide and Cookbook for Milk Allergies, Lactose Intolerance and Casein-Free LivingIt’s made with the usual hummus base of chickpeas, tahini, and garlic, but that’s where the similarity ends. Fragrant spices including ginger, coriander, and cinnamon signal that this is no ordinary recipe. A generous amount of solid-pack canned pumpkin, gives the dip a lovely color and flavor, as well as nutrition. With a small amount of cayenne, this pumpkin hummus isn’t especially hot, but if you prefer great flavor without any heat, just leave out the cayenne entirely.

    This pumpkin hummus goes together quickly, but plan to make it in advance to give the flavors time to bloom. A sprinkling of chopped pistachios [optional if you prefer a nut-free dip]adds a festive and flavorful crunch.

      When I make hummus, I use canned chickpeas for convenience/time sake. If I’m using canned chickpeas, do I still need to cook the other ingredients first? Just curious what the purpose of cooking them is?

        The recipe is actually using cooked (canned chickpeas). The cooking part is to bring out the flavors in the spices, so you don’t want to skip it!
