Ingredients

  • 1 pinch salt for the boiling water
  • 1 cup edamame frozen, shelled

  • ¼ cup chives chopped
  • 1 handful cilantro

  • 2 tbsp flaxseed oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper

Instructions

  • In a pot of boiling water, add a pinch of salt. Add the frozen edamame beans to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Add the frozen peas to the edamame in the pot and cook for another 3 minutes (a total cooking time of 5 minutes). Strain.
    1 pinch salt, 1 cup edamame, ½ cup sweet peas
  • In the bowl of a food processor place the cooked beans and peas, chives, and cilantro leaves. Process until chopped. Add the tamari (or soy sauce) and flax oil. Process until chopped fine but not pureed.
    ¼ cup chives, 1 handful cilantro, 1 tbsp tamari, 2 tbsp flaxseed oil
  • Transfer to a bowl, add salt and pepper, taste. This spread is fantastic on plain rice crackers or wasabi rice cracker.
    1 pinch salt, 1 pinch pepper

Cooking Tips

  • Texture Adjustment: If you prefer a smoother spread, process the mixture for a longer period. For a chunkier texture, pulse briefly.
  • Oil Substitute: If flax seed oil is not available, you can substitute with another healthy oil like olive oil, although this will slightly alter the nutritional profile.
  • Serving Ideas: Beyond spreading on crackers or bread, this versatile spread can also be used as a dip for vegetables or a condiment in wraps and sandwiches.
