Edamame hummus

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

1 tbsp sesame seeds

200g edamame (after podding)

2 tbsps olive oil

½ tsp sesame oil

½ clove of garlic, crushed

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tbsps water

Freshly ground salt and pepper, to season

Method

1 Toss the sesame seeds into a roasting tray and place in a fan oven pre-heated to 150ºC for about 5 minutes.

2 Using a pestle and mortar, grind the hot sesame seeds until most of them are cracked and ground.

3 Cook the edamame, then drain and cool. Remove from the pods by using your fingers to gently squeeze the beans out.

4 Place the cooked edamame beans, ground sesame seeds and the remaining ingredients in a blender and blitz until the texture is nice and creamy.

5 If you think the mixture is too dry, then add a little more olive oil or water.
