Edamame Hummus

If you don’t know, edamame are scrumptious little devils. I usually get the privilege to eat them at sushi restaurants. They are usually steamed and sprinkled with kosher salt. I could seriously eat them all day. And as good as they are on their own, they are also wonderful in this Asian twist on traditional hummus with edamame, garlic, lemon juice, tahini and oil.

You can usually find edamame in the frozen vegetable section at the grocery store. They are sold in their pods or shelled. When I am simply eating them as a snack I prefer to eat the pods but when I want to add them to things, like this hummus, I really to recommend buying the shelled variety. It makes things a whole lot easier.

    What a great twist, I love this! I’ve been making hummus a lot lately for snacks at work, AND I already have frozen edamame for the taking in my freezer. Will have to give this one a shot this weekend- thanks!

    Great idea. Looks delishious and filling. That’s definitely something I could grow addicted to. I guess you could call this an international fusion dish :-) Maybe I’ll try this with black sesame paste instead of tahini, too.
