Heat remaining oil in a small frying pan and add pumpkin seeds, chilli, cumin, coriander and a sprinkle of sea salt.  Cook, stirring until seeds start to change colour .  Remove from heat and arrange pan contents over the top of the hummus.

* Roasted pumpkin or pumpkins with less water content may mean that you need to add a little water to your hummus to get a good consistency.

* Try making your own water crackers such as in the photograph.

  1. I look forward to trying pumpkin hummus especially because it does not have expensive tahini in it.I loath getting food processor out, so when I do I make heaps of hummus and freeze small containers.I often use it on toast instead of butter.
