A good

recipe for using edamame since there doesn't seem to be that many recipes using

soy beans around.

 

" Edamame Hummus " (soy bean hummus)

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground coriander

taste

In a medium saucepan combine edamame, onion, garlic, bay leaf and 2 cups of

water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins. Scoop out 1/3 cup of

I've not run across this before - how very interesting! I thought of making

hummus from

cooked (dried) soybeans, but I was too busy eating them up in the sugar and

seaweed LOL

But I do have som in-shell frozen edamame, so . . . The garlic *and* cummin in

these

should give a real kick ;=) Nice.
