Instant Pot Hummus

This homemade Instant Pot hummus is a revelation for anyone who enjoys the velvet-smooth texture of a classic Middle Eastern dip. By using dried chickpeas rather than tinned, you achieve a much richer flavour and a superior, creamy consistency that is often missing from shop-bought versions. The pressure cooker handles the heavy lifting, softening the beans perfectly in a fraction of the time, whether you choose to soak them overnight or cook them straight from the cupboard.

As a versatile vegan staple, this protein-rich dip makes a nutritious addition to a mezze platter or a healthy afternoon snack when served with toasted pitta and crunchy crudités. It is naturally gluten-free and can be customised with extra garlic or lemon to suit your taste. Preparing your own batch at home is not only more cost-effective but also ensures a fresh, preservative-free result that the whole family will love.

Ingredients for Instant Pot Hummus

  • 240ml dried chickpeas

  • 950ml water, plus 725ml if you soak and drain the beans

  • 1 tesked kosher salt

  • 120ml tahini

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1/4 teskedar malen kummin

  • 1 tesked kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1/4 teaspoons paprika

  • 2 matskedar extra jungfruolivolja

If you decide to soak the beans, put them in the Instant Pot and add the 950ml water and the salt. Leave the pot turned off and let the beans soak for 10 to 12 hours or up to overnight. You can then either drain the beans in a colander or not. If you drain them, return them to the pot and add the 725ml water.

If you decide to cook the beans without soaking them, put them in the Instant Pot and add the 950ml water and the salt.

When ready to cook the chickpeas, secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Select the Bean/Chilli setting and set the cooking time for 25 minutes for soaked chickpeas or 40 minutes for unsoaked chickpeas.

Let the pressure release naturally for at least 15 minutes, then move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam. At this point, you can leave the chickpeas in the pot on the Keep Warm setting for up to 10 hours.

When you are ready to make the hummus, open the pot. Ladle out 180ml the cooking liquid and set it aside. Wearing heat-resistant mitts, lift the inner pot out of the Instant Pot and drain the chickpeas in a colander.

Transfer the drained chickpeas to a food processor or blender. Add the reserved 180ml cooking liquid, the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Process at medium speed for about 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

If serving as an appetizer, spoon the hummus into the centre of a wide, shallow serving bowl and spread it out in a thick circle. Sprinkle the parsley and paprika on top, then drizzle with the oil.
