a bowl of hummus

Ingredients

  • (227g) Canned Chickpeas or (105g) dried chickpeas
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cups tahini
  • 6 tbs lemon juice
  • 3 cloves chopped garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • pepper
  • 6 to 10 tbs ice water

Notes

  • I only know how to cook chickpeas in an Instant Pot. So if you don't have one you'll have to figure that part out.

Directions

    1. Soak dried chickpeas in cold water with ½ tsp of baking soda for 8-12 hours. Drain and rinse. Skip this step if using canned chickpeas.
    2. Put chickpeas in Instant pot with 3 ¾ cups of water and ½ tsp baking soda and 1 tsp salt. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes, followed by natural pressure release.
    3. Drain the chickpeas and blend in food processor for 1-2 minutes until its a smooth puree.
    4. Add ¾ cups of tahini, 6 tbs of lemon juice, 3 chopped garlic cloves, 1 tsp of cumin, 1 heaping tsp of salt and pepper to taste. Blend and stream in ice water one tbs at a time until desired texture is reached.
