Edamame Dip Recipes

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.

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 (EDAMOLE)

Steps:

• Place the garlic cloves, chipotle pepper, olive oil, hot sauce, and cumin into a blender. Puree until smooth, then add the edamame, and continue to puree until smooth. Add water as needed to achieve your desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

CREAMY EDAMAME DIP

Steps:

• Boil edamame in salted water until tender, 8 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath; drain. Puree in a food processor with cottage cheese, cilantro, serrano, lime juice, oil, 3 tablespoons water, cumin, and salt until creamy. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and carrots for dipping.

EDAMAME DIP WITH CRUDITES

Steps:

• Cut carrots, celery, and cucumber into 1/2-inch-wide sticks (2 1/2 inches long). Cut radishes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water and keep cut vegetables in ice water (to keep crisp) while making dip.
• Cook edamame in 1 1/2 quarts boiling water with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a 3-quart heavy saucepan 3 minutes, then reserve 3/4 cup cooking liquid and drain edamame in a colander. Rinse under cold water until cool.
• Dry saucepan and add garlic and 3 tablespoons oil, then cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is pale golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Purée 2 cups edamame with garlic-oil mixture in a food processor until smooth. With motor running, add 1/2 cup reserved edamame-cooking liquid in a stream. Add remaining cup edamame, lime juice, sugar, pepper, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and remaining teaspoon salt and pulse until slightly lumpy. Add remaining 1/4 cup cooking liquid to thin if desired, then stir in cilantro.
• Transfer dip to a serving dish and serve with vegetables, drained and patted dry, for dipping.

EDAMAME & CHILLI DIP WITH CRUDITéS

Steps:

• Cook the soya beans in boiling salted water for 4 mins. Drain and cool under cold running water. Blitz with the yogurt, chopped red chilli, lime juice and crushed garlic clove until smooth. Fold in the finely chopped red onion and a handful chopped coriander. Serve with halved radishes and sticks of carrots, celery and peppers. The dip will keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Adjust the seasonings.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and, if you like, place lime slices on the sides of the bowl as you would for a margarita.
