Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini or other white beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
Instructions
