Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable
This dip is creamy, flavorful, and packed with protein and fiber. It’s a healthy option that is quick to make and can be customized to your taste. Plus, it uses simple ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.
Step 1
Rins the garbanzos and soybeans, then toss them into a pressure cooker along with a bay leaf and an onion. Pour in enough vegetable broth and water to cover the beans by about an inch (or just follow your pressure cooker’s guidelines for the minimum liquid). Seal the lid and bring the cooker up to high pressure, then lower the heat to keep it steady and cook for about an hour. Let the pressure come down naturally before opening the lid.
Step 2
Drain the beans but save some of the cooking liquid just in case you want to thin out the hummus later. Transfer the beans to a food processor, then add garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, black pepper, and tahini. Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy. If it feels too thick, pulse in a little of that reserved cooking liquid until you reach your preferred consistency.
Step 3
Finally, scoop the hummus into a bowl and stir in some fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned garbanzo beans instead of dry for this recipe?
You can, but cooking times will change. Use about 1 ½ cups canned beans and skip the pressure cooking step.

Tamari or coconut aminos are great gluten-free alternatives.

It will stay fresh for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container.

Why do I need both garbanzo beans and soybeans?
Combining both adds unique flavors and creaminess to the hummus.
How can I make the hummus thinner or thicker?

Is it necessary to include the bay leaf and onion when cooking the beans?
