Into a small bowl pour all liquid from the can of garbanzo beans to use reserve for the later use in the recipe. If using canned beans in this recipe, place the beans in a colander and rub together with hands to remove as much skin as possible (this will help make the hummus smoother).
To a blender, transfer the beans and add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, 2 tablespoon of reserved liquid and salt.
Blend for about 5 minutes. Blending for an extended time ensures a softer dip. If it hasn't reached silky consistency, add another 1 tablespoon of liquid from the beans and blend for a couple more minutes.
To plate: Transfer to a serving dish. Using a spoon, make a few swirls and drizzle olive oil on top. Top by sprinkling Aleppo pepper and placing fresh mint. Serve with pita or any vegetable.
Notes
Please note, that not all canned chickpeas are cooked to perfection for hummus, you may need to add more liquid as needed or boil the canned chickpeas to cook until soft.Cooked chickpeas won't need as much added liquid as canned.Removing the skin will create a smoother dip.For the best consistency, I would suggest cooking your garbanzo beans from scratch using the instant pot instructions I have provided above on my blog. This way, you are in charge of the consistency.If you tried our recipe post and tag us! on IG @ThePerfectTide on FB @PerfectTide #ThePerfectTide
