Rinse the garbanzos and soybeans, then put them in a pressure cooker with the bay leaf and the onion. Add vegetable broth and enough water to cover the beans by 1 inch (or follow the manufacturer's minimum liquid requirement).

Lock the lid and bring the cooker up to high pressure; lower the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 1 hour. Let the pressure release naturally.

Drain the beans, keeping the liquid. Transfer the beans to a food processor. Add the garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, black pepper, and tahini; process until smooth. (Add some of the cooking liquid if you want a thinner texture.) Spoon the mixture into a bowl and stir in the parsley.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
