Ingredients
Frozen Shelled Edamame Dip:
- 12 ounces frozen shelled edamame, defrosted (about 2 cups)
- 2 Tablespoons tahini
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ cup water, plus extra to reach desired texture
- ¼ cup fresh parsley or cilantro leaves, optional, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor fitted with the metal ‘S’ blade. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- If your hummus is too grainy or thick, add a little extra water 1 Tablespoon at a time until your desired texture is achieved.
- Taste the hummus and add more salt and/or lemon juice as needed.
- Transfer the hummus to a shallow serving bowl. Drizzle the top with a little olive oil and sprinkle with some extra chopped fresh herbs to garnish if you’d like.
- The hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The edamame hummus is great as a dip with raw veggies, crackers, fresh pita, and more. You can also use it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
Notes
- If you don’t want to use tahini, the hummus will still be tasty without it. You could also replace the tahini with ½ an avocado or ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt to add some creaminess—but the avocado may cause the dip to brown a bit as it sits.
- Feel free to add some spice with cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce.
