The Ingredients to Prepare the Large Family Instant Pot Hummus
When you are ready to get started with making the Large Family Instant Pot Hummus, make sure that you have these ingredients:
- Dried Chickpeas. Be sure to sort the chickpeas and then rinse them off before you use them to create hummus.
- Whole Head Garlic. Remove the skins and smash the garlic down just a bit.
- Onion. Adding onion to the recipe helps give the hummus even more flavor that will go great with pita chips, vegetables, and much more.
- Cumin. Using just a bit of cumin is a great way to season your hummus for additional flavor.
- Lemon Juice. Use the juice from real lemons to add a slight tangy taste to your hummus.
The additional ingredients to add to the Instant Pot when making this hummus include water, salt, pepper, bay leaves, and tahini. You can substitute and add ingredients to your hummus as well.
Ways to Store Hummus After Making It in the Instant Pot
Store the hummus in a large airtight container and keep it in your refrigerator. The hummus can stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week. If you would like to make the hummus in advance and then serve it a few weeks later at a family gathering or special event, you should freeze it. You can place it in the airtight container, label it, and keep it in the freezer for up to six months. Be sure to leave a little room at the top as it will expand when it freezes. Thaw it out by putting it in the refrigerator the night before you plan on serving it. Add Hummus to your weekly meal plan for dinner, snack, or lunch.
Extra Ingredients You Can Add to Your Hummus
Add anything you would like to the Large Family Instant Pot Hummus. If you want to make it spicy, you can add a bit of cajun seasoning or buffalo sauce, depending on what kind of flavor you would like to achieve. You can add different herbs to your hummus to change its taste. If you want your hummus to taste like pizza, consider adding tomato paste, oregano, and basil to it while it is in the Instant Pot. Once you make the hummus, dip anything you want into it, such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, or even pita chips.
