Edamame hummus provides a new twist to the well-known Middle Eastern dip and gives it a fresh look along with a mildly sweet, earthy taste. It replaces chickpeas with shelled immature soybeans that boil in moments and become tender. The nutty aspects of tahini and fresh lemon juice complement the flavour of the dish, and garlic adds umami to the dip. This hummus recipe will provide a smooth, popsicle-like spread that doesn't hide the edible flavour of edamame.
Key to the success is the right texture. After cooking and draining, the soybeans are blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and spices until creamy. Cold water is needed to avoid excessive oiliness in the dip, and the taste is rendered warm with the addition of cumin. Unlike the traditional chickpea hummus dip, this hummus recipe has a greener colour and a sweeter flavour.
This dip can be paired with cucumbers, carrots, crackers, toasted pita bread or warm flatbread. It can also work as a filling in sandwiches or wraps with roasted vegetables. For a platter, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with dry sesame and garnish with fresh herbs. The hummus recipe is simple, quick and delicious, so you can have it as a snack on weekdays and for entertaining people.
