Ingredients

Edamame Hummus Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shelled edamame
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tahini (60 g)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook Edamame: Prepare the shelled edamame according to the package instructions, typically boiling or steaming until tender. Once done, drain and rinse with cold water to cool them down and stop the cooking process.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add the cooked edamame, garlic cloves, fresh lemon juice, tahini, sea salt, and black pepper to a high-speed blender or food processor. Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending. Continue until the hummus is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Serve or Store: Enjoy the hummus immediately as a dip or spread, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
  • Adjust garlic and lemon juice quantities to taste for more or less tang and pungency.
  • Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or use as a sandwich spread.
  • To enhance flavor, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, or fresh herbs before serving.
