Here it is! The moment we’ve all been waiting for…my very first blog post! And so it begins:
Edamame is my second favorite legume. Anytime I go to a restaurant and it’s on the appetizer menu, I order it. Which is probably silly. Who knows how much I’m paying for them to steam some soybeans and sprinkle them with salt? I could do it at home for way cheaper, and I do. Edamame is definitely a freezer staple in this house. Not only do I love edamame, but my toddler also loves it. It is one of the few vegetables I can be sure she will eat every time I offer it. If you’ve had to deal with toddlers ever, you know the struggle is real. As soon as you think you know what they like everything changes. Fortunately for everyone in this fam, edamame has remained acceptable.
My first favorite legume you ask? Peanuts. Obviously. I’m not ashamed to admit to eating peanut butter by the spoonful. Lucky for me, my two favorite legumes are pretty much besties. This must be why they get along so well in this Asian inspired twist on hummus. As I write this I’m eating like the whole bowl.
Don’t do that.
Share.
Preferably with several people.
Oh and before I forget, Sriracha. There’s a serrano pepper in here, for just a little bit of heat, but if you’re feeling crazy (which I hope you are) please drizzle some Sriracha on top.
Serve this up with some super simple wonton chips and veggies like carrot sticks, mini sweet peppers, grape tomatoes and/or sliced cucumber and you’ll have found your new favorite snack.
