Instant Pot Hummus Instant Pot Hummus

I posted a hummus recipe from canned chickpeas several years ago, but I like cooking my own chickpeas. Yesterday I made twice as many chickpeas as I need, and now I have enough to make chana masala or this vegan Chickpea soup recipe. You can use your Instant Pot to make this Pressure Cooker Hummus recipe with ease.

Instant Pot Hummus

This Instant Pot Hummus recipe is much like one I’ve made in the past, except I made the chickpeas in the Instant Pot. Another nice aspect of cooking your own chickpeas because you don’t have to use a whole can if you don’t want to. Canned chickpeas do not need to be soaked, but I think going through the extra steps of soaking them yourself takes this hummus recipe to the next level. You can eat canned chickpeas straight out of the can, because they have already been cooked. Dry chickpeas cannot be eaten raw and need to be soaked before consuming.

Preparing Dry Chickpeas For Instant Pot Hummus

I never remember to soak chickpeas the night before. Ever. So I quick-soak, which is done by soaking your beans in boiling water. An hour later, they’re fully soaked and ready to go. I love it. An even faster way to get me quickly enjoying Instant Pot Hummus.
