Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the shelled edamame and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until tender. If using frozen edamame, follow the package instructions for cooking.
Drain the cooked edamame and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the cooked edamame, garlic clove, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley leaves, ground cumin, salt, and ground black pepper.
Pulse the mixture a few times to break everything down, then process continuously while gradually adding the water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed during processing.
Taste the pate and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the edamame pate to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with additional parsley leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or vegetable sticks, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
