Edamame beans are by far our favourite bean, we love them in salads, stir-fries, made into dips or simply eaten in their pods with a pinch of salt. They pair well with sweet, green peas and a few fresh parsley leaves in this delicious and vibrant dip.
Methods
1. Place the peas and edamame beans in a microwavable bowl, along with a 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the bowl with cling film and cook on full power for 4 minutes or until defrosted. Place them in a sieve and run them until cold water until they are no longer hot.
2. Add the edamame beans and peas to a food processor, along with the garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper (plus the mint if using). Blend on high, scraping down the sides a couple of times until well combined.
3. Enjoy with toasted pitta breads and crudités, or store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
