Drain beans (reserving liquid) and place them into a food processor along with the pumpkin.

With the blade running add in the olive oil and half of the reserved bean liquid.

Remove the top of the food processor, scrap down the sides and add salt and tahini.

Adjust the texture and flavor of the hummus using seasoning and more pumpkin, bean liquid, and/or spices.
