Butternut Squash Hummus

Serves 2


As I was gathering ingredients to make some hummus for my lunch, I remembered I had some leftover roasted squash in the fridge. Since squash is sweet and smooth, I thought it would work as a lovely addition in hummus. As well as making it a fantastic fire orange.

I used the end of the squash with the seeds because then you get their nutrients too. They have a strong nutty flavour but are often disposed of which is necessarily wasteful. See also my roasted squash skin and seed recipe.




Ingredients


1/2 tin chickpeas

1/4 squash (seed end) roasted

1/2 lemon, juice

1 tbsp tahini

1/2 tsp chilli flakes

dash of water or liquid from chickpeas


step1

Combine all of the ingredients into a blender and blitz until you have a smooth consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water. Season to taste.


Notes

- For the squash, I cut it in half so was left with the end with seeds and an end just flesh. I then cut the seed end in half and that is then what I used and roasted.


- I roasted my squash plain, but you could add various spices for extra flavour in your hummus.


Allergens: sesame
