Ingredients

BEANS:

  • 1 pound dried garbanzo beans rinsed
  • 12 cups filtered water

HUMMUS:

  • 3 cups cooked garbanzo beans still warm
  • 1/2 cup warm bean cooking liquid
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 medium cloves garlic
  • 1 large lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil highest quality

Instructions

TO COOK THE BEANS:

  • Rinse garbanzo beans and discard any stones. Place in Instant Pot insert along with 12 cups of filtered water.
  • Close lid, make sure vent is set to "sealed" and set Instant Pot to manual for 35 minutes.
  • Allow Instant Pot to naturally release pressure when done (this can take up to 1/2 hour). If you are pressed for time, allow IP to release pressure naturally for at least 15 minutes and then do a slow quick pressure release.
  • Carefully drain the beans, making sure to reserve the liquid!

HUMMUS:

  • Transfer 3 cups of warm drained, cooked garbanzo beans to the bowl of food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Add all other ingredients EXCEPT olive oil.
  • Process until smooth and slowly add the olive in through the tube, 1 T at a time.
  • Hummus should be smooth, creamy and taste almost whipped.
