Hummus or chickpea is an extremely nutritious dish as it contains carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and healthy fats. Iron is better absorbed thanks to the vitamin C provided by the lemon.
Soak the chickpeas in water overnight or at least 4 hours in advance. Drain and place in the Express Pressure Cooker® with 2 liters of water and a teaspoon of salt.
Close the Express Pressure Cooker® and place the pressure regulator on it, put it on the stove over high heat for about 25 minutes or until a constant steam comes out, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 40 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, let it cool, remove the pressure regulator, open the Express Pressure Cooker® and you're done!
Uncover, remove the chickpeas with a slotted spoon, and reserve the cooking water. Remove the skins from the chickpeas and set aside 10 for decoration.
Blend the remaining chickpeas with half of the cooking juice and the garlic cloves until you obtain a thick consistency. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Blend the tahini sauce with 1/2 cup of warm water and the lemon juice. Incorporate this sauce with the ground chickpeas, mix until fully integrated, and season with salt to taste.
Slice the baguette bread and place it in the oven to lightly brown. Spread each crostini with a bit of chickpea and decorate to taste with black olives or sun-dried tomatoes.
