Gordon Ramsay Pumpkin Hummus

Gordon Ramsay Pumpkin Hummus

Pumpkin hummus is a flavorful dip that blends traditional hummus ingredients—chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice—with pumpkin purée for added richness and a touch of sweetness. Gordon Ramsay’s version incorporates warm spices like cumin and paprika to enhance depth and seasonal warmth.

  • 1 cup canned or roasted pumpkin purée

  • 1½ cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)

  • 2 tablespoons tahini

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2–3 tablespoons cold water, to adjust consistency

Optional toppings:

  • Toasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Combine main ingredients: In a food processor, add chickpeas, pumpkin purée, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  • Blend until smooth: Process for 1–2 minutes until well combined. Scrape down the sides as needed.

  • Adjust consistency: While blending, add cold water a tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches your desired smoothness.
