Ingredients

  • 2 cups Shelled Edamame (cooked and cooled) defrosted if frozen
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • ¼ tsp Sea Salt plus more to taste 
  • cup Tahini
  • ¼ cup Lemon Juice +2 tbsp
  • cup Olive Oil plus more as needed
  • ¼ tsp Cumin
  • 3 tbsp Cold Water as needed to reach desired consistency

Garnish With

  • ¼ tsp Smoked Paprika
  • Edamame Beans
  • Red Crushed Peppers
  • Chopped Cilantro or Green Onion
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Put the garlic, ¼ cup lemon juice, and salt into the food processor and blend for 1 minute.
  • Add the tahini and blend until it is a thick creamy texture, about 1 minute. Be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom so the tahini is properly blended.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add water, a tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings if needed, adding more lemon juice for zest, salt to enhance the flavor, or olive oil for a creamier consistency.
  • Transfer the edamame hummus to a serving bowl or container. Serve the edamame hummus with your favorite dippers such as pita bread, crackers, raw vegetables, or use it as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onion. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, red crushed peppers. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top. Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to a week.
