Artichoke Hummus

Cooking beans from scratch with a pressure cooker will add about 1 hr and 40 minutes to your total time. However that is cooking and soaking time so you can do something else during that time. If you cook dried beans without a pressure cooker, it will add 1-24 hrs of soaking time and 3-8 hours of cooking time.

 ¼ tsp cayenne
 2 14 oz cans of artichokes, drained

If using dry beans, place beans in a pressure cooker, rinse and drain. Then add 7 cups of water, bring to a boil, then turn off heat, and let sit for at least an hour. Then secure the lid and bring to a steam over high heat. Once steaming, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 30 mins. Then depressurize and drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the water for later.
