- Garlic- 3 cloves minced or chopped.
- Olive Oil extra virgin -1 tablespoon. Plus extra for drizzling when serving.

Recipe Notes
Start with one cup of pumpkin puree and then add additional as need for color, taste, or consistency.
I mentioned that using canned Garbanzo (chickpeas) beans is an easy way to go for making hummus. Before adding them to the recipe be sure to drain then rinse the beans first. Some folks like to save the drained liquid for adding later to add a bit to the hummus to thin in out as needed.
I also suggested using canned pumpkin puree for this recipe.
Adding pumpkin will give this hummus a great taste and color. Start with a cup and add more as desired. Using a 15 ounce canned pumpkin puree for this recipe rather than fresh as it will be easier to work with.
