Lebanese pumpkin hummus is a creative twist on the classic hummus, blending the rich, earthy flavors of pumpkin with traditional Middle Eastern ingredients like tahini and garlic. While hummus has been a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine for centuries, this variation adds a seasonal touch with homemade pumpkin puree.
The addition of Lebanese 7 spice brings warmth and depth, while the pomegranate molasses adds a tangy sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the creamy hummus. It’s a delicious blend of tradition and innovation, perfect for the fall months.
This pumpkin hummus isn’t just a flavorful dip—it also showcases the versatility of simple, wholesome ingredients. The creamy texture of the pumpkin, combined with the nutty tahini and bold spices, creates a unique spread that’s perfect for pairing with toasted bread or flatbreads.
It's a wonderful way to incorporate seasonal ingredients while still staying true to the rich flavors of Lebanese cuisine.
If you’re looking for something different yet familiar, I highly recommend trying this recipe. It’s an easy way to elevate your hummus game with a comforting fall twist, and the balance of flavors will make it a hit at any gathering.
Plus, making your own Lebanese 7 spice and pumpkin puree gives this dish a homemade touch that’s truly special. Give it a try, and bring some Lebanese-inspired warmth to your table!
