Ingredients
- Frozen edamame
- Lemon juice
- Garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Remove frozen edamame from package and thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Place thawed edamame in a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Peel and mince fresh garlic cloves, then add them to the edamame.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice directly into the food processor to enhance brightness and prevent browning.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the edamame and garlic mixture.
- Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Pulse the ingredients in the food processor until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved, scraping down the sides as needed.
- If the dip seems too thick, gradually add a small amount of water or additional olive oil to reach desired texture.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and optional chopped herbs like parsley or chives.
- Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or crackers. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- Make sure to thaw your edamame at room temperature to ensure smooth blending and optimal texture.
- Use fresh garlic for the most robust flavor - pre-minced garlic can taste flat.
- Adjust the olive oil and liquid gradually to control the dip's consistency.
- For extra creaminess, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or tahini.
- Experiment with herbs like basil, cilantro, or dill for unique flavor variations.
- Always taste and adjust seasonings before serving - a little extra salt or lemon can make a big difference.
- For best presentation, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of herbs just before serving.
