For the hummus

  • 110g pumpkin seeds
  • 1 stand mixer
  • 200g smoked tofu
  • 250g soy yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp Tamari (soy sauce)
  • 2 tbsp yacon syrup
  • 1 tbsp almond butter, white
  • 1 tsp Yuzu paste (e.g. available at Coop) 
  • 1 ½ tsp paprika powder, sweet
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • Crystal salt and pepper from the mill

For the topping

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, white
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, black
  • 1 mortar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, cold pressed

Instructions

This spicy pumpkin seed hummus has a delicate, smoky aroma, is wonderfully creamy, and tastes excellent!

Step 1

Roast 110g of pumpkin seeds in a pan without any fat; then put 55g roasted pumpkin seeds in the blender.

Roughly chop the tofu and also put it in the blender, add 250g soy yoghurt and puree finely.

Then pour into a bowl; add 2 tbsp tamari, 2 tbsp yacon syrup, 1 tbsp almond butter, 1 tsp yuzu paste, 1 ½ tsp sweet paprika, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.

Stir the mixture vigorously; season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Chop the remaining roasted pumpkin seeds medium-finely and fold half of them into the hummus. 

Tip: For a firmer consistency, refrigerate the hummus for about 1 hour.

For the topping, first roast the white and black sesame seeds together until they are fat-free, then roughly crush them in a mortar. Mix the remaining chopped pumpkin seeds with the crushed sesame seeds.

Arrange the hummus in a bowl, sprinkle with the topping, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and serve.

Tip: This hummus tastes great on toasted bread, with fried tofu slices, with patties, and much more.

The colonic was one of the best experience I’ve ever had. Ela was absolutely fantastic. She is very gentle and really professional. I was feeling at ease knowing I was in perfect hands at that time. Later on I was given some good advice about a liver cleanse.
