Middle Eastern Edamame Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Place the edamame, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, miso, salt, chili paste and pepper into the bowl of a food processor and process for 15 seconds. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl and process for another 15 to 20 seconds. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Once all of the oil has been added, stop, scrape down the bowl and then process another 5 to 10 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Serve with chips or crackers. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Place the edamame and water into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes. Drain any excess water and serve as is or salted.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, roast the garlic, turning frequently, until light brown, 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 3/4 cup of the cooking water before draining. Drain the beans and cool.
• Transfer the garlic into a food processor and chop coarsely. Add the beans, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, pepper and process in the food processor. Add the olive oil, lime juice and cilantro and pulse to combine. Add the reserved water a little at a time while processing until smooth (you may not need to add all of the water). Use pita chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Cook edamame according to package directions but *omit* the salt. I lightly boiled the edamame and [reserved] some of the cooking liquid.
• Place the olive oil, salt, cumin and garlic in a food processor. PULSE 2-3 times.
• Add the edamame and the remaining ingredients. Blend to desired consistency. If the mixture is too thick you can thin it with a little bit of the edamame cooking liquid. Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon if needed.
• We served the edamame dip with a light drizzle of olive oil on top followed by a sprinkle of sumac, a sprig of fresh parsley and accompanied by Recipe #100777.

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the edamame. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and cool slightly.
• Place the edamame in a food processor along with the miso, 1/2 cup water, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar. Set aside 1 tablespoon scallion for garnish and add the rest to the food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Season with the additional tablespoon of rice vinegar if desired.
• Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl and garnish with the reserved scallions and the sesame seeds if using. Serve with crackers and vegetables for dipping.

• Transfer to a serving bowl and, if you like, place lime slices on the sides of the bowl as you would for a margarita.
