Edamame hummus with garlic scapes –Have you ever found yourself staring at a bag of edamame, wondering what to do beyond just popping those babies open? Well, wonder no more! We’re diving into the world of Edamame Hummus. It’s creamy, dreamy, and so easy to whip up that even a sloth could do it (if it had opposable thumbs, of course). So, let’s get started on this flavorful adventure that will make your taste buds do a dance!
Edamame Hummus: The Glory of Green
Not only is this hummus bright green and glorious, but it’s also bursting with flavor! Perfect for dipping, spreading, or just eating straight off the spoon when nobody’s looking (we won’t tell). And let’s face it, it’s way cooler than traditional hummus.
Ingredients to Get the Party Started
Gather your ingredients as if you’re about to throw a shindig for your taste buds:
- 1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen, no judgments here)
- 1 ripe avocado (the riper, the better… like that fine wine in your cellar)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin, because we like to keep things classy)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (bring on the zing!)
- 1 garlic clove (or more if you’re feeling froggy)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or just enough to make you say “Yum!”)
- Water (to blend to your desired creaminess)
Instructions to Edamame Heaven
Now that you’re armed with the essential ingredients, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your own bowl of happiness:
- If your edamame is frozen, boil those little green gems in salted water for about 5 minutes until they’re tender. If they’re fresh, just give them a quick boil. Drain and let cool – you don’t want to steam your fingers off!
- In your blender or food processor, combine the edamame, ripe avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. That’s right, throw them all in there like you’re trying to win a game of kitchen bingo!
- Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to reach your ideal consistency. The goal is to make it spreadable, not a science experiment gone wrong.
- Taste it! Adjust the seasoning if you need – a little more salt? Another squeeze of lemon? Go wild!
- Transfer to a bowl, grab your favorite dipping snacks, and dig in. Before you know it, you’ll be wondering why you ever ate regular hummus in the first place!
And there you have it, a bowl of Edamame Hummus that’s not just a dip but a full-on culinary experience. Enjoy with friends, family, or just keep it all to yourself – we don’t judge! Bon appétit!
