Homemade Hummus
Yields about 24 ounces
Ingredients:
1 cup dried garbanzo beans (approx.. 20 ounces cooked)
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup high-quality tahini
1-3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 – 1 ½ teaspoon salt
½ cup water (or liquid from cooking beans)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling on top
Instructions:
Cook the beans in an instant pot (35 minutes on high pressure) or slow cooker (4 hours on high). Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the beans from the cooking liquid and place in jar of a blender. (Reserve ½ cup cooking liquid to use in hummus.)
To the blender, add lemon juice, tahini, garlic, salt, ½ cup cooking liquid (or water). Blend on high until very smooth. Drizzle in ¼ cup olive oil while blender is running. Taste, adjust salt and serve! Drizzle olive oil on top if desired.
