Cut the pumpkin into large cubes. Boil the cubes in a saucepan with water until soft and drain the water.

Dice the garlic clove. Put with the rest of the ingredients in a blender or, if you are using a hand blender, in a tall, narrow container and blend well. Possibly add a little more liquid until the desired consistency is achieved.

Season the hummus to taste. For serving, if you like, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a few pumpkin and sesame seeds.
