Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small pumpkin (about 500g)
olive oil , for roasting
2 garlic cloves , peeled
½ lemon , juiced
2 tbsp tahini paste
400g can chickpeas , drained
1 red pepper , deseeded, and sliced
1 yellow pepper , deseeded, and sliced
mini breadsticks and pitta chips, to serve

Steps:

  • Cut the top off the pumpkin, about two-thirds of the way up. Remove the pumpkin seeds, then scoop the flesh out of the bottom and the lid.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the pumpkin flesh into pieces and put in a roasting tin with the garlic and a good glug of oil. Season, then bake for 45 mins until very tender. Leave to cool.
  • Tip the pumpkin into a food processor with any juices from the roasting tin and the garlic. Add the lemon juice, tahini paste and chickpeas. Season with salt and blend to a paste - add a little more oil if it's too thick. Scoop the hummus back into the pumpkin and serve with the peppers, breadsticks and pitta chips.
