Close the lid and place the valve to sealing. Do high pressure for 35 minutes followed by a natural release. The natural release will take around 20 minutes.
Now you will drain your chickpeas, make sure you save your cooking liquid. You will need 1/2 cups of the liquid. Remove the bay leaves from the mixture.
Take 3 cups of the cooking liquid and place in a bowl along with your cooked beans. Use a food processor or blender and mix up the beans with the cooked garlic, onion, and spices.
Then once mixed, slowly add in your olive oil a teaspoon at a time. You will mix until the chick peas are smooth, creamy, and whipped texture.
