Description

A fresh take on hummus using edamame instead of chickpeas.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 small shallots (finely diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (smashed and finely chopped)
  • 4 cups shelled edamame (roughly 2 bags of frozen shelled edamame)
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup tahini
  • ¾ cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 large lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoons ground cumin
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. If using frozen edamame, defrost.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté, stirring, for 2 minutes or until soft. Add the edamame and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the water and a small pinch of salt, stir and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently for 6 minutes.
  3. Transfer the contents of the pan to a food processor, add the lemon juice, tahini, tamari, cumin, and process until you have a thick, crumbly puree. Season to taste with salt.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil, za’atar, a little flaky sea salt. Serve immediately, warm, or at room temperature with carrots, celery, whichever fresh vegetables you prefer.
