Pressure Cooker Hummus

Instructions

1. Pressure Cook the Chickpeas
2. Put the dried chickpeas and 4 - 5 cups water in your pressure cooker, lock the lid, bring the cooker to high pressure, and cook for 40 minutes at high pressure. Then, remove from the heat and let the pressure come down naturally, another 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the beans, saving the cooking liquid for use later in the recipe
3. NOTE: Cooking the chickpeas this way takes a bit longer to cook than remembering to soak them over night. But who remembers to do that? Besides, you usually think hmmm some hummus would be nice this evening. How often do you think my I think I will want some hummus tomorrow so I had better start them soaking for hours on end so I can make it. See you are already saving time and you haven’t even made this yet. You can thank me later for saving you literally hours on end – no you had better do it now or you will forget to thank me…Go ahead, I will wait for you, (as usual).
4. Make the Hummus
5. Turn on the food processor, and drop the peeled garlic through the feed tube. Let it process until it is completely chopped, about 30 seconds.
6. Add the chickpeas and 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and process until the chickpeas are ground up, about 5 one second pulses.
7. Add the chickpea cooking liquid, (don’t get carried away now start with maybe 1/2 cup and see if you need more), lemon juice, and tahini.
8. Process for 15 seconds, scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula, then process another 15 seconds, or until completely combined.
9. The resulting mix will be very thick; scrape down the sides again if it needs it. Turn on the food processor, and drizzle the olive oil in slowly through the feed tube in a thin stream. Let the food processor run for another 30 seconds, or until the hummus looks smooth and a little fluffy. Taste, and add salt and pepper as needed. Remove the hummus to a serving dish, and dust with the paprika, drizzle with a little more olive oil, (if you have time to fancy it up that is), and serve.
