Making A Delicious Healthy Dip - Free Video

September 4, 2008

Here’s a great video we came across earlier today. We thought you might enjoy it as much as we have. Can’t wait to give this yummy dip a try.

The volume on this video is a little low. You may have to increase your speaker volume to make sure you can hear her.

Here is the full recipe for you if you want to print and save it.

Edamame Dip

• 1 1-pound bag frozen shelled edamame
• 4 large cloves garlic, peeled
• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (to taste)
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Cook the edamame and garlic cloves in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 3 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking liquid, then drain edamame and garlic in a colander. Rinse under cold water until cool.

Purée the garlic, oil, and 2 cups of the edamame in a food processor until smooth. With motor running, add 1/2 cup of the reserved edamame-cooking liquid in a stream. Add the remaining 1 cup edamame, lime juice, honey, salt and pepper and pulse until slightly lumpy. Add remaining 1/4 cup cooking liquid to thin if desired.

Transfer to a small bowl, stir in cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 2 cups.
