directions
In a large saucepan bring water to a boil and simmer lentils about 15 minutes, or until al dente.
In a colander drain lentils and rinse under cold water, draining well. Transfer lentils to a bowl and chill 20 minutes.
In a food processor puree lentils, tahini, garlic paste, lemon juice, and water until smooth. With motor running add oil in a stream, adding up to 1/4 cup more water if mixture is too thick. Season hummus with salt and pepper.
Hummus may be made one day ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap. Bring hummus to room temperature before serving. Serve with pita or veggies.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
