    How to Make Creamy Instant Pot Hummus

    1. Blend Chickpeas and Tehina Sauce

    Begin by transferring the warm Instant Pot Chickpeas to a food processor using a slotted spoon. Add the Basic Tehina Sauce, salt, and cumin to the processor. Blend the ingredients until the mixture turns creamy and smooth.

    2. Adjust Consistency

    If your hummus feels too thick, adjust the consistency by gradually adding reserved cooking liquid until you reach the desired texture. Aim for a consistency that is smooth yet holds its shape.

    3. Garnish and Serve

    Transfer your hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle olive oil generously over the top and sprinkle with pimentón. Enjoy your homemade hummus with pita, veggies, or as a spread in your favorite dishes.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Quality Chickpeas

    Start with high-quality dried chickpeas to control texture and flavor better.

    Tahini Quality and Ratio

    Use high-quality, runny tahini. Adjust the general ratio of half a cup per cup of dried chickpeas to taste.

    Skin Removal

    For ultra-smooth hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas after cooking.

    Ice Water

    Gradually add ice-cold water while blending to emulsify the tahini and cool the mixture, resulting in creamier hummus.

    Soaking

    Soak chickpeas overnight with baking soda, then drain and rinse before cooking for smoother results.
