Equipment

  • 1 blender
  • 1 Instant pot or pressure cooker
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups boiled chickpeas
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 bunch of cilantro
  • 2 limes

Instructions
 

  • Wash and rinse the dry chickpeas and place them in the instant pot with enough water to cover the beans—no need for soaking. Cook for 70 minutes on the multigrain settings. If you don’t have an instant pot, use the pressure cooker but adjust the amount of water so your beans don’t burn. 
  • Wait for the chickpeas to cool down to assemble your hummus recipe with the blender. 
  • Add the drained chickpeas along with the rest of the ingredients to the blender. 
  • Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high speed. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. 
  • If necessary, stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
  • In case the mixture is too thick, add water from the boiled beans gradually, one tablespoon at a time, while blending until you reach the desired consistency. Blend briefly after each addition to incorporate the water.
  • Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or garlic, according to your preference.
  • Once the hummus reaches a smooth and creamy texture, transfer it to a serving bowl or container.
  • You can drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top of the hummus and sprinkle with paprika or chopped cilantro for garnish. That is if you want picture-perfect hummus.
  • Enjoy!!
