EDAMAME DIP (EDAMOLE)

Steps:

EDAMAME GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• BRING a medium pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath and set aside.
• COOK the edamame beans at a rolling boil until tender, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain the beans into a strainer and shock in the ice bath. Drain well.
• PUREE the avocado, lime juice, garlic, and jalapeño in a food processor at high speed. Add the edamame beans and the process on high speed.
• MEANWHILE, cook the broccoli at a rolling boil until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the broccoli and shock in the ice bath. Drain well and pat dry.
• ADD the broccoli to the edamame mixture and process on high speed until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to incorporate all the ingredients.
• TRANSFER the mixture to a medium bowl and fold in the remaining ingredients, mixing with a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
• TRANSFER the guacamole to an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour, before serving with accompaniment of choice. (The guacamole will keep in the refrigerator for up to two days.)

EDABROCCAMOLE (AKA EDAMAME, BROCCOLI, & AVOCADO GUACAMOLE)

Steps:

• Simmer the peeled edamame in boiling water for 2 minutes or until soft (alternatively, microwave the beans with a few tablespoons of water on high power for 2 minutes); Drain.
• Blanch the broccoli in rolling boiling water 30 seconds to 1 minute; Drain; (I didn't use the broccoli in my version so I can't vouch for how it tastes in there; I love broccoli, though, so probably it's great!).
• In a food processor bowl fitted with the steel blade, place the scallion, red onion, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, tomato, and cilantro; pulse until all ingredients are finely minced.
• Now add the broccoli and edamame; pulse on and off until well incorporated.
• Last, add the roughly chopped avocado to the above mixture (don't toss that pit!) and pulse until combined but not completely pureed; preserve some of the chunky avocado texture.
• Taste for seasonings, adding salt and pepper, and perhaps more lime juice; I also like to fold in the cumin and oregano, although these were not included in the original version.
• Chef's notes: “Edamame” are green soybeans; I find them in the frozen foods section at the grocery store; To forestall the inevitable browning that happens with avocado dishes, slot the avocado pit into the container with the dip; also, place a layer of plastic wrap directly on top of the dip in whatever container is holding it to minimize oxygen exposure until you’re ready to serve, or for the duration of time it’s stored in your refrigerator.

EDAMAME

Steps:

• If using fresh, strip all of the pods off of your soybean bunch and boil them whole in salted water for 5 minutes.
• (Start timing once the water returns to a boil) Drain the pods, liberally salt them, and then slip the seeds out of the pods directly into your mouth.
• Have a discard bowl handy for the shells.
• You may never want to eat potato chips again!

EDAMAME GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• 1. Place beans in food processor and pulse to a paste, about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients. Process to combine. Adjust salt and pepper. Serve.Great with chips, crackers and combine with cooked egg yolk and stuff in deviled eggs. For a little fun cut the eggs like this- easy to handle and unique. Slice a small piece from the wide end of the egg, so it stands up. Then cut a piece from the opposite end and using a melon baller or a small spoon remove the yolk and any white from the top...now fill with the mixed up filling of your choice.
