Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (200 g) dried chickpeas
  • 2 1/2 cups (591 ml) water
  • 2 tsp (12 g) salt
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions
 

  • Put the dried chickpeas directly into the bowl of your Instant Pot. Add the water, salt, and bay leaf. Close the lid.
  • Press the Pressure Cook button on the Instant Pot and set it to 75 minutes. When done, allow the pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes, then manually release the rest of the pressure. Remove the chickpeas from the cooking liquid. Use as desired.

Notes

  • Rinse the dried chickpeas well before adding them to the Instant Pot.
  • To make a smoother hummus remove the skin from the chickpea before you blend it all up.
  • Chickpeas are high in protein, they make a great addition to soups, stews, and salads.
