I'm going to get back into this slowly by telling you what I had for dinner last night: edamame hummus! After a super jumbo burrito for lunch, I wanted something light and tasty (and easy to make). And boy is it easy! If you've never made hummus from scratch, you should really try it - it takes only a few minutes, and you can create endless varieties! You don't have to stick to tradition and use garbanzo beans - I've made hummus with any beans I have lying around. Black beans make a nice, southwestern twist. Last nigth, I pulled a bag of Trader Joe's Shelled Edamame out of the freezer, thawed it in the microwave, and I was ready to go.
D-I-Y hummus is so fun because you can make it to your own taste. I scooped a heaping teaspoon of tahini in, a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of water to make it nice and creamy, juice from half a lime, and salt and pepper, then I just turned on the cuisinart and watched the magic happen!
Yum.
