Edamame Hummus tastes like the hummus we like to buy at the olive bar and goes together fast using fresh or frozen edamame beans.
Edamame Hummus

I really enjoy hummus.
And perhaps none I like better than edamame hummus, which I can get at the olive bar at the local Kroger market. But how expensive!
It really is quite simple to make at home. It takes a few short minutes to cook the edamame, drain, and whiz this up in the food processor. With a few crackers, toasted pita or flat bread, or even spread like mayo on a tortilla wrap with something like grilled eggplant is just heavenly.
For snacking or a great lunch, this is one recipe I am glad I did. I love saving money making things on my own, and I know exactly what’s in it. The spices I grind myself, since I can buy them at a much lower price as seed at an Indian or Middle Eastern market. I save a small coffee mill for that exclusive use (I once used it for coffee but have since upgraded to a burr grinder.) With that, it is best not to go back and forth because of the oils in these leave an odor that takes awhile to get out.
Enjoy!
