Edaname and avocado smash

If you follow me you know I am addicted to green 🙂

So today I thought I would add more green to my avocado toast.. using crispy edamame that would also bring proteins to transform a yummy comforting avocado toast into a totally balanced main 🙂

Until I moved to Singapore I had only eaten edamame in Japanese restaurants, snacking on them before our meal.

Here I can find some fresh ones so easily, that we eat some every week.

Super easy to cook also: throw them just 5 min in salty boiling water after cuting their tips. Then place them in an ice bowl to keep their nice green colour and stop the cooking.

That’s as simple as that !

If you want to make the spread here it is :

  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 2 cups cooked edaname
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1 tbsp coconut yogurt
  • 1 small blanched garlic clove chopped
  • 1/4 tsp ground coriander
  • A good handful cilantro chopped
  • A good pinch of salt and cracked pepper
  • Olive oil to drizzle and lime wedges to top when serving

Put all ingredients in the blender keeping 1/4 cup edamame to serve. Pulse a few time ensuring you keep some texture.

Eat as a dip with raw veggies, on rye toasts, with your falafels …

Can keep for 1 day in glass container in your fridge.
