- 1¾ cups (15oz can) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- sea salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons hot water
*Optional: Start by steaming the chickpeas for 5 minutes by using a pot with a basket steamer and about 1 inch of water at the bottom. Place the lid on the pot and allow the chickpeas to steam.
Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor.
Blend until creamy and smooth. Stop occasionally and scrape down the sides with a spatula. After one minute, while it is blending, slowly and carefully pour in the hot water and blend for at least another minute. *The longer you blend it, the creamier it will become.
Add additional salt as needed.
