Butternut Squash Hummus


Further to my Butternut Squash Risotto dish posted earlier this month, this is another recipe that uses roasted, then blended squash. Why not make the two recipes together whilst the oven is hot and the food processor has squash mixture in it?

As an autumnal version to my classic hummus, which also contains chickpeas, tahini and lemon juice, this has the added tastiness of butternut squash.

I have been on a roll with butternut squash, sneaking it into all kinds of things. My favourite recipes so far include this hummus, the risotto, muffins and soup.
