4–5 fresh garlic cloves
1cuptightly packed kale leaves
Juice of ½ lemon
2–4 tablespoons reserved cooking water from garbanzo beansadjust as needed
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, pumpkin purée, kale, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, and a small amount of the reserved cooking water. Begin blending until the mixture starts to come together.
Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even blending. Continue processing until the hummus reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
Add additional water a tablespoon at a time to adjust the texture to your preference—thicker for dipping, smoother for spreading. Blend once more to fully incorporate. Serve immediately or store chilled in an airtight container.
