01 - 2 cups shelled edamame, fresh or frozen

02 - 1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
03 - 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
04 - 2-3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

# Steps:
01 - Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook for 4-5 minutes if frozen, or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool slightly.

03 - With the motor running, drizzle in cold water 1 tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.

05 - Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley if desired. Serve with pita chips, raw vegetables, or as a sandwich spread.
