‘Tis the season of the pumpkins. This year, instead of a rich and creamy pumpkin cheesecake, or a chocolate chip pumpkin muffin, I decided to opt for a much simpler yet healthy option.

Did you know that although most hummus is made with chickpeas, you could also make this with beans? In this recipe, I actually made my hummus with Ayam brand canned baked beans!

Pumpkin Hummus

Makes one medium sized bowl

250g pumpkin, baked and roughly chopped in chunks
450g canned Ayam baked beans, rinsed and drained (save some sauce)
2 tbsp tahini
juice from a quarter lemon
1 tsp ground cumin
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp olive oil
fresh coriander and drizzle of oil for garnish

Roast your pumpkin at 180 degrees for about 30 min.
Place all the above ingredients except for garnish in a food blender / processor and pulse until smooth
Garnish and enjoy!

Presto! So simple right? Try it yourself!
