Easy Edamame Dip Food

SPICY EDAMAME DIP

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.

EASY EDAMAME DIP

Steps:

• Add the frozen edamame to a pot with boiling water. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, but save about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• Add the cooked edamame to a food processor with the olive oil, garlic cloves, and lemon juice. Process the mixture, slowing adding in a bit of the reserved cooking water until the dip reaches its desired thickness (I used about 1/4 cup of the water). Then add in the basil or cilantro (if using) along with some salt and pepper to taste. Continue to process until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with pita chips, crackers, and/or fresh vegetables.

EDAMAME AND MISO DIP

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.

EDAMAME DIP

Steps:

• Place the edamame, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, miso, salt, chile 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.
