Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen shelled edamame
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the frozen shelled edamame to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the cooked edamame, water, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chili powder for garnish, if using.
Serve immediately with your choice of fresh vegetables, pita chips, or crackers. The dip can also be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
