City Bakerys Edamame Spread Food

EDAMAME SPREAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the edamame and garlic until edamame are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a food processor, puree edamame, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oil, and 1/2 cup water until very smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl. If needed, thin by adding water one tablespoon at a time. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day. (If needed, add additional water.) Serve with radishes and crackers.

CITY BAKERY'S EDAMAME SPREAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the soybeans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a food processor, pulse together the soybeans and vinegars. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow stream. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with rice crackers -- either the discs or warped sheets. Ilene Rosen, the savory chef at City Bakery, calls this her version of rice and beans.
