Ingredients
  

For the Hummus
  • 4.6 ounces edamame beans (shelled) Use fresh or frozen—just make sure to thaw frozen beans before use.
  • 4 ounces milk (or dairy-free alternative) Almond milk or oat milk work beautifully if you're looking to keep it vegan!
  • 3 tablespoons tahini Quality matters here; look for tahini made of pure sesame seeds.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin is recommended for robust flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled) Roasting it first will give a milder, sweeter flavor.
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice Fresh is best! A squeeze before serving enhances the flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper Feel free to substitute with black pepper.
  • crushed macadamias (for topping) A unique crunch—don’t skip this!
  • black sesame seeds (for garnish) They add a beautiful contrast and nutty flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In your food processor, combine the edamame beans, milk, tahini, olive oil, and garlic. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Adjust texture by adding more milk gradually if desired.
  2. Add the lemon juice, salt, and ground white pepper. Run the processor again and taste-test for seasoning adjustments.
  3. Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and sprinkle the crushed macadamias and black sesame seeds on top. Serve with vegetable sticks or crackers.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Perfect for meal prepping and can enhance flavor over time.
