Edamame Hummus (soy beans) recipe post-vegan

[Guest guest]

I made this last night, found the recipe in one of last months magazines but I'm

not sure which one now. Was very good and I have leftovers for lunch. A good

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

soy beans around.

1 onion chopped

2 garlic cloves, smashed

1/3 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

3 Tblspns. each of tahini and lemon juice

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground coriander

2 tsp. kosher salt (I used 1 1/4 tsp. of Celtic sea salt) I would salt to

taste

Garnish top with toasted pine nuts and sprigs of cilantro

 

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