Edamame Hummus

Edamame Hummus [recipe adapted from Claire Robinson]
Please, please promise me you will find frozen shelled edamame. It took me longer to shell two cups worth than to actually make the hummus. Never again!

-2 cups frozen shelled edamame
-1 garlic clove
-juice of 1 lemon
-1/3 cup tahini
-1/2 teaspoon coriander
-kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
-1 cup of cooking water
-1 teaspoon of honey
-fresh vegetable crudités or toasted pita points, for serving

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the edamame and garlic clove, and cook to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and strain.

2. Put the edamame and garlic into a food processor along with lemon juice, tahini, coriander, and salt and pepper. Puree until smooth and, with the motor running, drizzle in the cup of the cooking liquid to reach desired consistency.

3. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

4. Serve with crudités or pita points.
