Grind the pumpkin in a food processor with the garlic, lemon juice, tahini, cumin and paprika a smooth paste.
⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)

Add the rest of the olive oil gradually, while processing in a food processor, until a smooth paste.
⚙ Fat in a Thin StreamFood processor
💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
8
Transfer into a bowl, drizzle a little olive oil over the top and sprinkle the pistachios.
