Very few “superfoods” taste as great as hummus. Even my kids will clamor at the table waiting for a bowl of this creamy delight. Each ingredient packs a major dose of health benefits. Protein, healthy fats, fiber and vitamin C are just a few reasons why hummus is a crucial part of the Mediterranean Longevity Diet.

With that said, let’s be honest. We love hummus because it’s delicious! The contrast of creamy garbanzos and sharp lemon juice on a crisp pita chip hits the spot any day of the week.

I’ve been fine tuning this recipe for the last few years. Learning tips and tricks along the way; this is the apex of my hard work. I’ve simplified the entire process using the Instant Pot. No more overnight soaks. This is the best hummus you’ll ever have.

Ingredients

2 Cups Dried Garbanzo Beans / Chickpeas
6 Tablespoons Tahini
¼ Cup Lemon Juice
¼ Cup Water
½ Cup Olive Oil
3 Whole Garlic Cloves
½ Teaspoon Ground Cumin
½ Teaspoon Paprika
3 Teaspoons Sea Salt

Method

1)
Place 2 Cups of Dried Garbanzo Beans into your Instant Pot and add 8 Cups of Water. Seal the lid on your Instant Pot and set it for High Pressure / Manual for 40 Minutes. When it’s done, wait an additional 20 minutes while it does a natural pressure release then switch the knob to venting. When the pin drops, open the lid and pour the garbanzo beans into a colander. Rinse with cold water a few times in the pot, use you hands or spatula and swirl the beans around before draining – this helps remove some of the skin which will result in smoother and creamier hummus. After rinsing, drain in a colander.
2)
Add the cooled garbanzo beans to your food processor along with 6 Tablespoons of Tahini, ¼ Cup of Lemon Juice, ¼ Cup of Water, 3 Whole Garlic Cloves, ½ Teaspoon of Cumin, ½ Teaspoon of Paprika and 3 Teaspoons of Sea Salt. Turn on your food processor and let it blend for a few minutes. Once it starts looking like a paste, while the food processor is still on, drizzle in ½ Cup of Olive Oil. Let it blend for a few more minutes (you can add a little more water if you want a thinner consistency) . Taste and season with more salt or add more lemon juice to your liking.
3)
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika before serving. Enjoy!
