Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 can (14 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon finely minced fresh herbs
• sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
• pepitas, for garnish (optional)

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the garlic, olive oil, water, chickpeas, pumpkin puree, lemon juice and honey into a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Stir in the fresh herbs. Pour into a bowl, drizzle with more olive oil and garnish with more fresh herbs, sesame seeds and pepitas, if desired. 

Note: Roasted garlic adds even more flavor. Roast a whole head of garlic in the oven or put a few cloves of garlic in a saucepan with some olive oil. Cook low and gently until soft. Save the garlic-infused olive oil and use in recipes or on salads.
