Roast Pumpkin Hummus

This is the most moreish dip. Great with carrot or celery sticks, dolloped on top of a salad or used with the Moroccan Quinoa Cakes!
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees and place pumpkin on a lined baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and place in a bowl to cool in the fridge.
Meanwhile in a small saucepan place the garlic and onion with a little bit of olive oil and sauté until al dente. Add the spices and cook stirring for 1 minute or until the spices become fragrant. Remove from heat and place into a food processor or blender. Add the chickpeas, honey, vegetable stock, olive oil, and cooled pumpkin into the processor or blender and mix for 1 -2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon juice to taste, coriander and season with salt and pepper. Blend for a further 30 seconds to combine. Serve with carrot & celery sticks or over Moroccan Quinoa Cakes.
