Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 pinch paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
If using frozen edamame, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
In a food processor, combine the cooked edamame, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt.
Begin blending the mixture, slowly adding the water as needed to reach your desired consistency. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even blending.
Process until the hummus is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt, or cumin if desired.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
