I’m a long-time fan of the middle eastern dip called Hummus, and even now that I’m a pretty carb-conscious eater, hummus is something I have to have occasionally! And hummus is easy to make in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot using dried beans from the pantry! You do remember how I am such a fan of cooking dried beans in the Instant Pot or the Slow Cooker and kicking the canned bean habit don’t you?

And now that so many people are stuck at home trying to use pantry ingredients I thought you might enjoy some of the tasty (and creative!) ideas in this collection of Slow Cooker and Instant Pot Hummus Recipes! And after you’ve made some hummus I’m also sharing links for a few recipes using hummus that I thought looked especially interesting; enjoy.

What is Hummus?

The name Hummus comes from the Arabic word for Chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) and hummus is a dip or spread spread made with cooked, mashed chickpeas and usually including olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Tahini Sauce (affiliate link). Read more about Traditional Hummus at Wikipedia.

Instant Pot Hummus from Everyday Maven is a classic hummus recipe that starts with dried garbanzo beans, no need to presoak them for this recipe!

I’ve never tried hummus made with lentils but I think they sound delicious in this Slow Cooker Lentil Hummus from 365 Days of Slow + Pressure Cooking!

I love the topping of pine nuts on this Instant Pot Hummus from The View from Great Island!
