Pumpkin Hummus

Hummus is definitely not a modern invention. It is a delicious spread made from chickpeas, particularly popular in the Middle East, where it is considered one of the oldest and most important dishes. Traditionally, hummus is prepared from cooked chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and parsley, but it is also tasty with many other additions. In the autumn season, we can spice it up with a delicious pumpkin puree.
