Description
With Fall in full swing I made this savory spicy pumpkin dip recipe. An old Jewish Libyan recipe, this healthy pumpkin dip is redolent with garlic and spice. Perfect for game day or as part of a mezze or salatim course, this easy pumpkin dip was a winner.
Ingredients
2 T olive oil
7 minced cloves of garlic
1 t cumin
1/2 t smoked paprika
Red pepper flakes to taste
1 can pumpkin puree
3 T harissa
1 T honey
Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
Heat 2 T olive oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and stir to combine. Cook until garlic begins to turn golden.
Add pumpkin, harissa and honey and stir to combine. Cook gently, until pumpkin is just warmed through.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Dip should be tangy and spicy and full of garlic.
