PUMPKIN HUMMUS
There are beautiful pumpkins this season.
I love this vegetable because it is good but also beautiful for decoration.
Perfect for creating hallowen lamp. However, it is necessary to empty.
I have found so many ways to use pumpkin pulp, but my favorite is PUMPKIN HUMMUS.
Hummus is a very versatile Middle Eastern preparation perfect for buffets and aperitifs.
Accompanying with fresh vegetables or spreading on toasted bread becomes irresistible.
