Edamame is such an awesome food. It’s great as a snack all by its lonesome, boiled for five minutes or so, then salted lightly and eaten. It’s bright green and tastes like spring time… what more could you want?
While I generally love my edamame straight up, I also like to mix it up once in a while. Jill, a fabulous woman I know through a friend, brought the following recipe to a luncheon and it was devoured faster than anything else on the table. Edamame hummus – such a simple idea, but so good!
Love comes in green also:
Edamame Hummus
2 cup edamame, flash boiled and cooled
1 Tbl olive oil
2 Tbl tahini
2-4Tbl lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
3 cloves of garlic
water to blend
Blender and mix until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve a texture you like. Add more lemon, garlic, or cumin to taste. Experiment! Have fun! Everyone loves their hummus prepared a little different… make your own master recipe. I’ve added cilantro for an excellent flavor. The sky’s the limit.
Serve with chips, crackers, pita, or whatever tickles your twinkie.
Fin!

Sounds yummy! I’m middle eastern and always looking for good hummus recipes to replace the chick pea version. One thing though. Soy beans are not legal on the SCD. Oh well. I hear you can make a great hummus with white beans though.
