Lebanese Pumpkin Hummus Recipe

Updated: Aug 5


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.
