Every time I make this as an appetizer, I am blown away by response. It is so simple to make and there is never any left, while the appetizers that took ages are still there when ready to sit down. I think the important thing when making this is you have to taste and be the judge but here are the basic guidelines to making it!
1 lb of Edamame (Cook in boiling water for 3-5 minutes and stained)
Juice of 2 Lemons
4 Cloves of Chopped Garlic- I usually use more
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1/4 Cup of Tahini
In a blender add all of the ingredients and pulse until smooth. At this point taste and see if you want to add a little more garlic, lemon juice or Tahini. I serve this usually with cut carrots and cucumbers.
hey patty, great recipe. quick question, do I boil the edamame beans in their pods then take out, or take them out before boiling? thanks
Hi Caroline,
Yes, take them out of their pods before boiling them
This is a great idea. I have bags of edamame so I’ll have to give this a try!
