Instant Pot Classic Hummus
This hummus is made with dry chickpeas, and thanks to the Instant Pot, there’s no need for an overnight soak. It’s a simple, straightforward recipe that you’ll find yourself making time and again.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried chickpeas
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- Water for adjusting consistency
Instructions
- Start by rinsing your dried chickpeas under cold water. Place them into the Instant Pot along with 4 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
- Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 35 minutes. Make sure the valve is set to sealing.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow for a natural pressure release, which will take about 20-30 minutes.
- After the pressure has fully released, open the lid and check the chickpeas. They should be very tender. Drain and reserve some cooking liquid.
- In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and cumin (if using).
- Blend until smooth, adding some reserved cooking liquid or water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if needed.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika or cumin for garnish, if desired.
