Instant Pot Traditional Hummus

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Traditional Hummus.

1. Step 1

   Start by rinsing your dry garbanzo beans under cold water to remove any dust or debris.

2. Step 2

   Once they’re nice and clean, place them in your Instant Pot and pour in the vegetable broth, creating a flavorful base for your dish.

3. Step 3

   Secure the lid tightly and set your Instant Pot to high pressure, cooking the beans for 35 minutes.

4. Step 4

   As the magic happens, give it about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up—this is when the beans soak up all that delicious broth.

5. Step 5

   When the timer goes off, it’s time for a little excitement! Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, following your Instant Pot’s instructions.

6. Step 6

   This should take around 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once the pressure is fully released, unlock the lid and take a moment to enjoy the aroma of your perfectly cooked garbanzo beans.

8. Step 8

   Next, strain the beans, but don’t toss that cooking liquid just yet! Reserve about 2/3 cup of it for later.

9. Step 9

   Now, transfer the garbanzo beans to a food processor, where the real fun begins.

10. Step 10

    Add in the zesty lemon juice, creamy tahini, rich olive oil, and a few cloves of chopped garlic.

11. Step 11

    Blend everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency—this should take about 3 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well mixed.

13. Step 13

    To elevate the flavor even more, add the reserved cooking liquid, a sprinkle of ground cumin, and a pinch of salt to the food processor.

14. Step 14

    Blend for another minute until everything is beautifully combined and creamy.

15. Step 15

    And there you have it—a delicious, homemade garbanzo bean dip that’s perfect for spreading, dipping, or just enjoying by the spoonful!.
