appetizer recipe

Edamame hummus with olive tapenade is the new crack.

June 21, 2013 4 Comments
#bean2blog P Allen Smith Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board

There is a new hummus in town.

It is time for all the little chickpeas to hit the road.

I have made the switch.

Last month at the #bean2blog event, P. Allen Smith put together a quick edamame hummus snack for us (you can see him make it in the video) and then threw down a challenge in a sweet Southern drawl.

“I’d like to see what variations you all come up with.”

“Yeah, yeah, right, right. Variations. Hummus. Got it.” All I cared about with getting my hands on as much as that green goodness as possible.  Homemade hummus would have to wait until my belly was satisfied and the pleasure part of my brain turned off.

Edamame hummus is the new crack.

Try it for yourself.

Edamame hummus with olive tapenade

Ingredients

1 bag (16oz) of frozen shelled edamame

½ tsp black olive tapenade

4 cloves garlic

3 tablespoons tahini

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

4 tablespoons olive oil

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon black pepper

red pepper flakes

water

Instructions

1.

Boil edamame according to instructions.  Stir occasionally.

2.

Drain in colander and set-aside until cool.  Remove beans from the pod and put in food processor or powerful blender.

3.

Pulse edamame with garlic, tapenade, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, pepper, and salt until it resembles the consistency you prefer.  Keep adding a tablespoon of water until it is just right.

  1. On cucumbers:

Spoon hummus into a Ziploc sandwich bag and snip on corner and pipe onto the cucumber.  Sprinkle red pepper flakes as garnish.

  1. On melba toast:

I like to mix it up and make on side hummus and the other side olive tapenade. Sprinkle red pepper flakes as garnish.

I hope you see how easy it is to make edamame hummus and I truly hope your curiosity gets the best of you and you try making this.

You may just find that it becomes your new addiction.

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

Lyndi

⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?

⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠

My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠

Turkey?⁠

Green bean casserole?⁠

Mashed potatoes?⁠

Sweet potato casserole?⁠

Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠

The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
