Cilantro Edamame Hummus
First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: edamame! They’re like the cool kid in the pod – full of protein and ready to make your taste buds dance. And who can forget about cilantro? It’s the herb that divides a nation! You either love it, or you’re a little confused by its soapy vibe. Personally, I’m a big fan, and I say the more, the merrier!
Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed for consistency
Instructions
- If you’re using frozen edamame, pop those little green beauties in a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool a bit; we don’t want them to burn their little toes.
- In your trusty food processor, combine the edamame, cilantro, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. It’s like a little party in there!
- Blend until smooth. If it looks too thick, add a splash of water to get that creamy consistency. You want it to be smoother than a jazz musician on a Saturday night.
- Now, taste it! Add salt to your liking. Don’t be shy; this is your hummus masterpiece!
- Transfer your brilliant creation to a serving bowl. You can serve this with veggie sticks, pita chips, or, let’s be honest, just straight up with that spoon we talked about earlier.
And there you have it! A delightful, zingy cilantro edamame hummus that’s sure to impress your friends and family. Just remember to share… or not. No judgment here. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
