Pumpkin Hummus
"A nice change of pace from the usual hummus. You can find pumpkin seeds, also called pepitas, in groceries and Mexican markets. Prepare up to a day ahead and refrigerate."

I was hesitant at first because it did not have chickpeas in the recipe, but the hesitation melted away quickly because it was SO good! I didn't even miss the chickpeas! -
This was a good...I also added a can of chickpeas(drained) to have more of a hummus tastiness and consistency :) -
It was okay it just didn't taste as good as I expected. I love regular hummus and love pumpkin but this just didn't do it for me. I will think more carefully when I think of trying a new recipe next time. -
This is a favorite of ours. we use cilantro instead of parsley.

Great recipe I made this last year as a Thanksgiving appetizer and loved it! Definately let it sit over night!

I loved this recipie and of course, tweaked it to my own particular taste the second time around as a good 'zaar-ist' should. I used 3 tablespoons of plain yoghurt and subbed tablespoon of garlic/ginger paste for clove of garlic; subbed cayenne for red pepper; added one more tablespoon of cumin and omitted the parsley. Just my own take on a certified 5 star recipe! THANK YOU for the inspiration! -
This is delicious! If you like hummus, you've got to try this recipe!! The only thing I do differently is use yogurt instead of tahini. I prefer the consistency I get with the yogurt instead. Oh, also I used two cloves of garlic...I can never get enough of garlic :-) Make sure to add the parsley; it makes a huge difference in the flavor! Yum! 5 stars! ~Di
