Bramble’s Green Lantern Edamame Hummus

Ingredients

• 1 12-ounce package shelled edamame, fresh or frozen
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1/4 cup water, plus more as needed
• 1/4 cup tahini
• Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
• 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. 1

   Boil the edamame and whole garlic cloves for 4 minutes, then drain and rinse under cool water.

2. 2

   Add the edamame, garlic, water, tahini, lemon zest and juice, salt, cumin, cilantro, red pepper flakes, and parsley to a food processor.

3. 3

   Process until smooth, stopping to scrape the bowl.

4. 4

   With the processor running, add the olive oil slowly. Continue blending until no pieces remain, adding water 1 teaspoon at a time if your approved texture requires a looser purée.
