Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Shelled edamame (fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen)
• 1 tablespoon Tahini (sesame paste)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 unit Garlic clove (peeled and roughly chopped)
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the shelled edamame. Cook for 3-5 minutes until tender, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

In a food processor, combine the cooked edamame, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Pulse a few times to begin breaking down the ingredients.

With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and water. Continue processing until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is evenly blended.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.

Step 5

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and chopped fresh parsley.
