Curried Pumpkin Hummus
I love a good hummus. And this is a really really good hummus. I kept seeing pumpkin hummus on blogs (mind you this was back in the fall) so one day when I had an open can of pumpkin, I knew what I had to do with the leftovers.
I didn't taste the pumpkin, but I loved how creamy the hummus was and it had a really great flavour from the curry powder, cumin, garlic, almonds and tahini. The original recipe doesn't have any oil, and I tried to make it that way but it just wasn't coming together in the nice smooth way that I like. So I added a tablespoon of oil and it was perfect.

What an interesting and creative take on hummus! I bet it's delicious.
I love how pumpkin puree adds creaminess without heaviness to dishes. I can't wait to try this one out next time I crack open a container of pumpkin puree. :)
Man, everyone is posting such interesting hummus variations this week! Maybe I will try this one with roasted butternut squash...
I'm so glad you liked it! And thanks so much for giving it a try. Hmmmm. . . .I have a can of pumpkin in the cupboard. . .! ;-)
I've made this before and really liked it! You can't taste teh pumpkin but it still tastes yummy!
Yum! I love all things hummus but tahini is impossible to find here. I will have to have my mother ship me out some so that I can make this.
I took this to a super bowl party today. absolutely deeeelicious!
MMM i wil have to try a variation of this some day - may have to wait until the autumn. Canned pumpkin is expensive here.
