Step 2

Drain the soaking beans and add them to an Instant Pot (or electric pressure cooker) with 1 cup water, 1-2 cloves garlic and 1 tsp baking soda and cook on high for 8 minutes. *if you don’t have a pressure cooker, boil in a pot on high for 20 to 40 minutes until soft and slightly over cooked, but not too mushy

Step 3

Add the beans to a food processor with 1/2 cup tahini, 2 – 4 tbs lemon juice based on taste, 2 tbs oil, salt and start to blend, slowly adding in additional water until the hummus it the consistency you like. Adjust water and salt until desired flavor and texture.
