Lentil Dip

#loveyourleftovers. Love your lentils? Try swapping the usual hummus for this new take on a classic. Roasted kumara and pumpkin not only give this dip a gorgeous vibrance, but a smooth creaminess that pairs perfectly with your favourite fresh veggies!

Serves 5 (85g)

Ingredients

200g roasted, cooled pumpkin or orange kumara
¾ can brown lentils
1 Tbsp tahini
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp parsley

Method

  1. Make dip. Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend for 1–2 minutes, until just smooth and combined.
  2. Chill for about 2 hours before enjoying with seedy crackers or crudites.
