Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic

• 14 ounces (1 can) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon honey

Recipe Notes

• 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.

• Be sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

• For even more nutrition, garnish with sesame seeds and/or pepitas.

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.
