I needed a “green” Hor d’oeuvre to serve
at my Delicious and Decadent
Earth Day Celebration last week so decided to make
Edamame Hummus!
It’s super simple to make +
it’s delish +
it’s a great alternative
to traditional chickpea hummus.
Also, it’s colorful so its adds a beautiful
splash of color to the dinner table!
Be Well with Arielle’s Edamame Hummus
Ingredients:
1 (500g) bag of frozen organic shelled edamame (approx 3 cups)
1/4 cup tahini
6 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, peeled
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp water
3/4 tsp sea salt to taste
dulse to garnish (optional)
paprika to garnish (optional)
Makes: approx 2 heaping cups
1. If starting with frozen edamame, simmer in a pot of water until edamame is heated through. Rinse and drain before using or just use thawed edamame. (Set aside a handful of edamame beans for garnish just before serving.)
2. Combine edamame, tahini, lemon juice, garlic in food processor. Process until smooth.
3. Drizzle olive oil and water slowly until thoroughly mixed. Blend for a few minutes until creamy. (Add more oil or water if needed)
4. Add some paprika and a few edamame beans to garnish. Serve with brown rice crackers.
Enjoy! Voila!
