MikeO Posted September 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Easy no fuss breakfast meal. Eggs are cooked in the instant pot on high pressure for 5 mins then immediate release and into a cold water bath for a couple of minutes. eggs peel really easy. cleanup is a breeze.

edriscoll Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 @MikeO That looks great! I have an instant Pot and I love it. Especially in the summer when I really don't want to heat up the kitchen. But I never thought of making eggs in them. What a great idea. My husband can't stand the smell of hard boiled eggs, but I have discovered that my pot works great outside on my deck under our umbrella. So your idea is pure genius. Thank you so much for sharing.

MikeO Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 First try at homemade hummus. turned out ok. tastes great but is not a smooth as i thought it would be. next time i will try the blender instead of the food processor and a more water to help out.

Pistol Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 @MikeO I add the chickpeas slowly to the food processor while it is running, and if too thick i add a bit of the liquid the beans were in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great! A little tip is ice cubes. Adding them to the food processor / mixer does wonders for smoothness! Also did you "deshell" them? The little skins around the chickpeas, if not removed, make the hummus a bit coarse. Best way to do it, is rubbing the chickpeas between your hands in a bowl of water and then the skins should just float to the top (I typically cook dried chickpeas, instead of using ones from a can, cause the shock from hot water to cold water separates the skins more easily, just like with potatoes). I'm sure you've done your homework and added olive oil and tahini, which also contributes loads to the smoothness. ⭐ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try the ice trick as well thanks for the tip. I did buy dried chickpeas and cooked them in a pressure cooker, worked great! I did buy tahini. was a little messy to work with but tasted good.

Pistol Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 @MikeO when using dry beans I rinse them over and over and over, and then rinse them after cooking over again. This removes most of the outer skins. Removing them prevents the bloating, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 second attempt at making hummus. much better. came out smooth and creamy. i did remove the outer skins and used the blender this time. At first the ingredients was to thick for the blender so added about a 1/4 cup of water or so and worked great. thanks @Pistol and @albertspafor the tips.

Sarah Tee Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 @MikeO, that looks delicious! I tried making hummus some years ago and it was a disaster. Inedible (and I usually don’t throw food away). When I feel better, I must try it again with all the tips here and your photo as inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 @Sarah Tee Here is a wonderful and easy recipe for Hummus: 1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup tahini 1 clove minced garlic 2 tblsp EVOO 1/2 tsp cumin, salt to taste, dash of paprika 2-3 tblsp water ( I use the liquid the beans were in ) Whip Tahini and lemon juice in Food processor, add EVOO, garlic and spices, add 1/2 cup beans at a time and whip then add more, add water if too thick until desired consistency.
