Hummus from Scratch

Servings: 8

Ingredients:
Dry garbanzo beans (3/4 cup),
Dried soybeans (1/4 cup),
1 bay leaf,
1 onion (quartered),
Vegetable broth (1 cup),
Water (3 cups),
Crushed garlic (2 cloves),
1 Fresh lemon,
Soy sauce (2 tablespoons),
Black pepper,
Tahini (1/4 cup),
Chopped fresh parsley (1/4 cup).

Preparation:
Wash the garbanzos and soybeans properly. Put garbanzos and soybeans in a pressure cooker along with the bay leaf and onion. Add vegetable broth and sufficient water to cover the beans by 1 inch (check once the manufacturer's instructions for the minimum requisite amount of liquid).

Cover the saucepan with the lid and bring the pressure up to high. Then reduce the heat to the lower level and cook for 1 hour, maintaining high pressure. Allow the pressure to go down naturally.

Drain the beans but reserve the liquid. Put the beans in a food processor. Mingle the garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, black pepper, and tahini and process the mixture until it is smooth. You may also include some of the cooking liquid for a thinner consistency according to your need. Mix it in the parsley after scooping the combination into a bowl.
