Edamame Hummus
Description
The recipe begins by boiling shelled edamame beans in salted water for five minutes until tender, then draining them. These are blended in a food processor with tahini, water, fresh lemon juice, chopped garlic, and ground cumin to create the base. Olive oil is added while blending to emulsify and lend richness. Ice is incorporated during the final blending stage to chill the mixture and create a lighter, fluffier texture.
The resulting hummus is creamy and smooth with a vibrant green color and refreshing lemon flavor balanced by the earthiness of the edamame and warmth of cumin. Salt is adjusted at the end to taste. This alternative hummus offers a different take on a popular dip, suitable for serving with pita, vegetables, or crackers.
This dip should be blended thoroughly, pausing to scrape down the sides to ensure even texture. Using fresh and high-quality ingredients greatly affects the flavor. Adjust water or ice to reach your preferred dip consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 edamame frozen, shelled, 12-ounce bag
- ½ cup tahini unroasted
- ¼ cup water
- 2 lemon juiced
- 1 garlic chopped, clove
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- 1 ice heaping cup
Instructions
- Boil the edamame in salted water for 5 minutes then drain.
- To the cup of a food processor add the cooked edamame, tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin. Turn on the food processor and while it is running, add the olive oil. Process for one minute.
- Remove the lid, and using a spatula, push down any large chucks on the walls of the food processor. Taste and add salt to taste. Add the ice and blend for 2 minutes or until smooth.
Notes
- Use high-quality fresh edamame, tahini, and lemon juice for best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of water or ice to modify the thickness of the dip to your liking.
- Blend thoroughly, scraping down sides as needed, to achieve a creamy, fluffy texture.
- Warm cooked edamame blend more smoothly before adding ice to chill and lighten the hummus.
