Make Your Own Hummus

Ingredients

• ¾ cup dry garbanzo beans
• ¼ cup dried soybeans
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 onion, quartered
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 3 cups water
• 2 cloves cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup tahini
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Step 1

Rins the garbanzos and soybeans well. Toss them into your pressure cooker along with a bay leaf and a peeled onion. Pour in some vegetable broth and enough water to cover the beans by about an inch, or just follow your pressure cooker’s guidelines for the minimum liquid needed.

Step 2

Seal the lid and bring the cooker up to high pressure. Once it’s there, turn the heat down to low and let it cook for about an hour. When the time’s up, let the pressure come down naturally before opening the lid.

Step 3

Drain the beans, but keep a bit of that cooking liquid aside just in case you want to thin out the hummus later. Pop the beans into a food processor, then add garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, black pepper, and tahini. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. If it feels too thick, add a splash of the reserved cooking liquid until you get the texture you like.

Step 4

Scoop the hummus into a bowl and stir in some fresh parsley for a little brightness. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then dig in!
