Beans and Legumes

Edamame Hummus

February 7, 2015 · By Monica Shaw

Edamame Hummus

This is my favorite way to make hummus at the moment, using edamame soy beans instead of the traditional chickpeas. It’s an awesome high-protein, high-fiber snack that also travels well making it perfect for packed lunches and long hikes.

I buy shelled edamame in the frozen section at Waitrose and make this in a blender (a food processor will work, too). I like to mix in a small handful of whole edamame at the end for a texture sensation.

Hummus is always better with garnishes so I’ve included some suggestions below.

Edamame Hummus

  • 2 cups shelled edamame
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt
  • water

Combine everything in a blender (I use an Optimum 9400) and add enough water to get the machine blending away. Blitz to a smooth consistency and serve with garnishes of your choosing.

Garnish ideas: Cilantro, paprika, berbere, piment d’Espelette, olive oil, argan oil, pumpkin seeds, dukkah, more edamame beans

  • What do you think about walking poles? I seem to end up stowing mine a lot. For a trek, great. But for exploring, a distraction? Discuss! .

  • Love an #airbnb with a load of personal touches. Amazing collection of outdoorsy and cooking books, #hygge candles, a fireplace, cool artwork, an insane spice cupboard, and the Christmas decorations are still up. 😍 #snowdonia
  • In search of the perfect wilderness brew. I usually go for a light roast but in the outdoors I like something a bit heftier. Trying this on recommendation  from @ravecoffee. Can’t wait to get stuck in to those tasting notes! #coffee #v60 #v60coffee #sumatra #coffeeroasters #tastingnotes
