Tips to make, and serve Instant Pot Pumpkin Hummus:
- Peel the skin of cooked chickpeas that will help to make the silky-smooth hummus.
- It can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a crowd.
- Cook chickpeas until they are so tender, and are mushy.
- Sometimes I add a pinch of baking soda while cooking chickpeas; it helps to chickpeas to separate their skin.
- Give an ice bath after cooking chickpeas; it makes this less tedious.
- You can prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate it; refrigerating improves the flavor.
- Always soak the chickpeas in the water; it helps to soften the chickpeas enough to lend hummus an ultra velvety texture.
- Use drained water while blending chickpeas instead of plain water.
Along with pumpkin hummus, I have made this falafel platter. This falafel platter brings the Middle Eastern flavor with a tangy tahini sauce, pita bread, falafel balls, and salad. Instead of typically deep-fried falafel, these are baked, which means less mess and a healthier dinner/lunch.
