Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients

7 oz (200 g) dried chickpeas
Enough water
2 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp salt
Water as needed
Chickpea cooking water
1 lemon (juice)
Salt and pepper
Paprika and cumin
Olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Place chickpeas in a bowl and cover with water; soak for at least 6 Hours. After soaking, discard the water and coat with baking powder.
On the Instant Vortex control panel, press BAKE, set the time the time to 8 Minutes and the temperature to 330°F (165°C). Press Start.
Once Add Food appears on the display, open the basket and add the chickpeas. Close.
Halfway through cooking, stir the chickpeas, shaking the container.
Remove from the Instant Vortex, place in a colander and rinse under running water to remove all baking powder residue (baking powder is used to soften the skins of the chickpeas to make them smooth when ground).
Insert into stainless steel bowl inside the Instant Pot®. Press Cook Under Pressure and set the time to 35 Minutes.
When done cooking, press Cancel and let the pressure release naturally. Remove at least two cups of chickpeas. Set aside.
Put the chickpeas in the Ace Nova blender with a cup of the cooking liquid, along with the other ingredients, and blend until smooth, slowly adding in more cooking liquid, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season to taste.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a week.
