Ingredients
Scale
Spread Ingredients
- ¼ cup (56g) tahini
- 12 ounces (340g) shelled frozen edamame, defrosted
- ½ medium ripe avocado
- 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- ½ to 1 serrano pepper, roughly chopped
- 1 big handful cilantro leaves and tender stems (remove thick stems)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (more to taste)
- Zest and juice of 1 large lime
- Kosher salt, to taste
Toppings and Bread
- 6 tablespoons hemp seeds
- Sauerkraut or pickled onions (optional)
- 8 slices seeded or sprouted multigrain bread (toasted, if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Edamame Spread: Add the tahini, defrosted edamame, avocado, soy sauce or tamari, roughly chopped garlic, serrano pepper, cilantro leaves and tender stems, toasted sesame oil, and the zest and juice of the lime to a food processor. Blend the mixture until it becomes a chunky, creamy dip. Taste and season with kosher salt as needed.
- Toast the Bread: Toast your choice of seeded or sprouted multigrain bread slices until golden and crisp, if desired. This adds a pleasant crunch and warmth to each bite.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the smashed edamame mixture onto each slice of toasted bread evenly.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle hemp seeds liberally over the spread for added texture and nutrition. Optionally, top with sauerkraut or pickled onions to introduce a tangy contrast.
- Store Leftovers: Transfer any remaining edamame spread to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep well for 7 to 10 days, though the vibrant green color may fade over time while flavor remains.
Notes
- The serrano pepper can be adjusted according to your preferred spice level; use less for milder flavor.
- Using tamari makes this recipe gluten-free; otherwise, ensure soy sauce is gluten-free if necessary.
- Leftover spread changes slightly in color when refrigerated but maintains delicious taste.
- Optional toppings like sauerkraut or pickled onions add a nice acidic punch but can be omitted for simplicity.
