Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups edamame (shelled, frozen)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 large garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons ground sumac
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil and cook the frozen shelled edamame for 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a food processor, combine the cooked edamame, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, water, ground cumin, ground coriander, sumac, salt, and black pepper.
Process the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor occasionally to ensure everything is well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 more tablespoons of water until desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or spices to your liking.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of paprika for color and an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh veggies, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
