Spicy edamame dip
- 4 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 16 ounces shelled edamame beans (about 2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- Pita chips, for dipping
Instructions:
- Spicy edamame dip is a healthy and easy-to-prepare recipe.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, roast the garlic, turning frequently, until softened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool, and then slip off the skins. Set aside.
- Bring about 8 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and drop in the beans. Bring back to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Reserve ¾ cup of the cooking water before draining. Drain the beans and cool.
- Transfer the garlic into a blender and chop coarsely. Add the beans, salt, cayenne pepper, and cumin. Process in the blender, adding the reserved water a little at a time until smooth. (You may not need to add all of the water.) Add the olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro. Pulse to combine. Use pita chips for dipping.
