Edamame hummus
I love hummus. It’s insanely easy to make. You don’t need anything fresh, except a lemon. Yet, as much as I inwardly groan every time I buy it, I still buy it. Oh, right. You need to have a food processor, and I didn’t.
Then Rik told me about some edamame hummus that Gloria had ordered, and I was fixated on the idea of making some. Enough to get me to fetch a food processor from my parents’ house, and try making it. And I’m quite pleased I did.
Edamame hummus
(adapted from the Food Network recipe)
- 1/2 pound frozen shelled edamame (green soy beans)
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons), juiced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspooon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Boil the edamame until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Put all the ingredients except the olive oil in the food processor, and puree, 1 to 2 minutes. Still running the food processor, add the olive oil until it reaches the consistency you like. Eat.
