Preparation:

Step 1
• Add dried chickpeas, garlic, bay leaf, 2 teaspoons salt and 6 cups water to a 6-8 quart slow cooker.
Step 2
• Following the manufacturer's instructions, close the lid and prepare the multicooker for use. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 55 minutes (see Note). Once the pressure cooker cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions to allow the pressure to release naturally. After 15 minutes, being careful not to burn yourself with residual steam, open and remove the lid.
Step 3
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chickpeas and garlic to a food processor, discarding the bay leaf. Add the cumin and 0.5 cups of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and process until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
• Add lemon juice, olive oil, and tahini and blend until very smooth, light, and fluffy, adding more liquid from the pan as needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.
Step 5
• Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with sliced ​​vegetables and pita chips.
