Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shelled edamame (frozen)
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add the shelled edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the cooked edamame, garlic cloves, fresh cilantro, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, water, ground cumin, and salt.
Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice, if desired. For some heat, add the optional crushed red pepper flakes and pulse to combine.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (if using) or extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
Serve with pita chips, vegetable sticks, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
