Ingredients

• 1 cup dried soybeans
• 6 cups water
• 1 whole garlic bulb
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup tahini
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon extra olive oil (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

Place the soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with plenty of water. Soak them overnight for at least 8–12 hours.

Step 3

Drain the soaked soybeans and transfer them to a large pot with 6 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat, and let the soybeans simmer for about 1 hour or until they are tender.

Step 4

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic and wrap it in aluminum foil. Place it in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden-brown.

Step 6

Once the soybeans are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a food processor, combine the cooked soybeans, roasted garlic (squeeze out the cloves from their skins), remaining olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, ground cumin, and salt.

Step 8

Pulse the mixture several times to begin blending everything together.

Step 9

Gradually add 2 tablespoons of cold water while blending, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 10

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with paprika and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for garnish.

Step 11

Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. Enjoy!
