Ingredients

12 ounces shelled, cooked, and cooled edamame, about 2 cups, recipe follows
1/4 cup diced onion
1/2 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro or parsley leaves
1 large garlic clove, sliced
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown miso
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon red chili paste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Place the edamame, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, miso, salt, chili paste and pepper into the bowl of a food processor and process for 15 seconds. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl and process for another 15 to 20 seconds. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Once all of the oil has been added, stop, scrape down the bowl and then process another 5 to 10 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Serve with chips or crackers. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Basic Edamame:

1 pound edamame, fresh or frozen, in or out of shell
1/4 cup water
Kosher salt, optional

Place the edamame and water into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes. Drain any excess water and serve as is or salted.

Yield: 4 servings

Outstanding, but ...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

AB rocks!! This dip is outstanding with great flavor and texture. It is easy and great fun to make in the food processor. But... ... the drawback is appearance. It is greenish brown in color -- not especially appealing. Perhaps a few tomato chunks or lime slices for garni would improve the appearance. Edamame zealots love it, but first-timers might be put off. No worries. I'll enjoy the leftovers from last night's dinner party for lunch today. However, for known crowd pleasers, I'll stick to deviled eggs and a cheese ball. Read more

Tasty and Healthy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I feel to give a true review, you need to make this exacty as Alton did. I did and it is very good !!! I suggest buying the... shelled Edamame to save time. I used a tad more Olive Oil to thin it out. I served it with Cucumber slices and Soy Crisps ( chips) This will be a staple in my Fridge !!! Read more

Wow!!! Wonderful complex flavor combination!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe the first time using Lime and Cilantro, 2nd time had Parsley and Lemon available.;Cilantro enhances the... overall flavor; lime or lemon, no difference. Served with Edamame beans with pod. Everyone who has tried this has loved it and were intrigued with the ingredients. I have to keep this around, it's addicting. I'd suggest doubling the recipe.Read more

It had everybody guessing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

No one could guess that it was Edamame, but everyone loved it! I didn't have miso, but it was still great. My food processor... is small, so I had to blend it in stages, but now I am wanting a larger one so I can make this over and over! Definitely going to be my "go to" dip when I need one!Read more

Bright Green Deliciousness
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was great! I used a little less oil, but added a bit of water to keep it smooth. I thought the chili paste would be too... much, but I ended up adding a little more than the recipe calls for. Next time I'll put in a little less parsley (it overpowered the edamame), but it was still great. I served it with wheat tortilla wedges that I toasted in the oven, which were great; you want a somewhat bland vehicle for the dip so you can taste all the intricate flavors, especially the miso and chili paste. Can't wait to try it with cilantro and lime instead of parsley and lemon!Read more

Great with Crispy Wonton Chips
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I sauteed the onion and garlic in half the amount of olive oil, substituted soy sauce for the miso, used sesame oil for about... half the oil and smoothed it out with about 6 oz of light sour cream. Tastes great; I suggest crispy wonton chips instead of chips or crackers.Read more
