Pumpkin with Tahini

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked chickpeas
• 2 cups pumpkin, chopped and cooked
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Olive oil
• 1/3 cup tahini

Method

1. First, drain the chickpeas and pumpkin well after boiling, and let them cool completely.
2. Start by mashing the chickpeas well, then add the pumpkin and mash it too.
3. Once the chickpea and pumpkin mixture is smooth, add the garlic, lemon juice, and salt, then gradually add the tahini... You can also mix everything by hand without a machine, just like other moutabals (after mashing the garlic, of course).
4. Add a little tahini if the mixture is too loose, or a little water if it is too thick... and mix until you get the texture of moutabal.
5. Drizzle a little olive oil on top when serving.
