Halloween Hummus – Zai

Information

Makes one medium pumpkin or bowl full of hummus

Ingredients

1 can chickpeas (400g), drained and rinsed

2 tbsp tahini

Juice of 1 lemon

1 garlic clove

A dash of cumin (optional)

1 small/medium pumpkin, cleaned out for serving (we used the flesh for scrumptious soup!). You can also use a normal bowl if not celebrating Halloween.

Step 1

Scoop out the pumpkin to use as a bowl. Get a grown-up to help cut off the lid.

In a blender or food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil.

Step 3

Blend until smooth, adding a bit of water if too thick.

Step 4

Season with salt and pepper, then scoop into your pumpkin bowl.

Step 5

Zai served his hummus with yummy slices of red pepper!
