What is Edamame Hummus?
Hummus is a dish originated in the Middle East. It is traditionally made with pureed or mashed chickpeas mixed with tahini, which is ground sesame paste. The seasoning is done simply with garlic, lemon, and salt.
In this recipe, shelled edamame is used in place of chickpeas. It is super rich in protein just like the chickpea version, but with more of a buttery nuttiness. A bit of cilantro adds a refreshing pop to the flavor.
Where to Find Edamame
You can look for edamame in the freezer section at any grocery stores in the states. They come in pods, or shelled type which I highly recommend for this recipe so you won’t need to pop them one by one.
