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

Ever wonder why a crackling fire draws you towards Ever wonder why a crackling fire draws you towards it like a moth to a flame? The fire’s warmth is more than just heat; the foods you cook on a flame add more than nourishment.⁠

One of my favorite memories as a kid growing up in the Research Triangle in North Carolina was the annual church hayride at the country home of our friends, the Barbours. We lived in a suburb of the state capital, close to physically yet far away from life on the outskirts of town filled with Tobacco fields, cotton patches, and red dirt roads. ⁠
⁠
The Barbours had some farm that my little self couldn’t comprehend. In reality, they may have had just land, yet to me; land meant a farm. And besides, they had a big ol’ barn, tractors, and hosted the annual hayride.⁠
⁠
My favorite part of the memory was the firepit, where everyone gathered around, laughed, and enjoyed each other’s company. It didn’t matter if you were a kid or elderly. ⁠
⁠
You may think, “But I don’t have a fireplace or firepit! What can I do?” ⁠
⁠
Improvise.⁠
⁠
Youtube a crackling fireplace video or a firepit on a beach. Dim the lights and turn the crackle up. Invite yourself to a friend’s home with ample backyard and offer to bring ‘smores. Go to a park.⁠

Webster’s Dictionary has two excellent definitio Webster’s Dictionary has two excellent definitions for the word nourishment. One is “to provide with food,” and the other is “to provide for,” to provide support.⁠
⁠
I love that.⁠
⁠
Just as food sustains and keeps us alive, feeling supported sustains us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s how we build bonds, friendships, and hope for the future.⁠

“Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I s “Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to say those words again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠

I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠

Did you know that folks in the UK will use the word “cheers” as “thank you?” From wedding toasts to praising someone for remarkable achievement, raising a glass with a special someone is a special bonding moment.⁠
⁠
I love that part about “cheers” and “thank” can be the same. ⁠
⁠
Have you ever wanted to become more thankful? More grateful? More appreciative of, well, everything that we take for granted?⁠
⁠
Why not give thanks and cheer a little more often?⁠

“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
