Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (56g) tahini
  • 12 ounces (340g) shelled frozen edamame, defrosted (Note 1)
  • ½ of a medium ripe avocado
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (Note 2)
  • 4 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • ½ to 1 serrano pepper roughly chopped (Note 3)
  • 1 big handful of cilantro leaves and tender stems remove thick stems
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil more to taste
  • 1 large lime zested and juiced
  • Kosher salt to taste

For Serving

  • 6 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • Sauerkraut or pickled onions (optional)
  • 8 slices seeded or sprouted multigrain bread (toasted, if desired)

Instructions

  • Add the tahini, edamame, avocado, soy sauce, garlic, chile pepper, cilantro, sesame oil, and lime zest and juice to a food processor. Start blending until it turns into a chunky dip. Season with salt to taste as needed.
  • Toast your bread of choice. Smear a generous amount of the edamame smash onto each slice of bread.
  • Top with hemp seeds and sauerkraut or pickled onions, if desired.
  • Store leftover spread in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 to 10 days. The green color will fade but it will still taste good.

Notes

General Notes:
One serving of the edamame mash itself contains approximately 18-20 grams of protein. To reach 30 grams of protein per serving, serve over two slices of seeded or sprouted multi-grain toast and top with 1 1/2 TBSP hemp seeds. 
Nutrition values are estimates only. Variations may occur due to brand and product availability and food preparation. 
Note 1: You can also find refrigerated edamame at some grocery stores, like Trader Joe’s.
Note 2: Use tamari to keep this recipe gluten-free.
Note 3: Remove membranes for mild heat. If you can’t find serrano peppers, use a jalapeño.
