Edabroccamole Aka Edamame Broccoli Avocado Guacamole Recipes

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 WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the salt into a small ungreased skillet. Place over medium heat and cook until tan colored - about 6-7 minutes; toss as it cooks. Set aside.
• Place the edamame into a pot of boiling water and cook until tender - 4 minutes. You want to cook out the raw taste but not let them get mushy.
• Immediately transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice-water to stop the cooking.
• Drain and pat dry and toss with prepared salt.
• Prepare the dipping sauce by whisking the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and scallions.
• Serve in small dipping bowl with the edamame.
