Edamame & Pear

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
• 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored, and diced
• 2 tablespoons water

Method

1. 01

   Cook 1/2 cup shelled edamame in boiling water for 5 minutes until tender. Drain and remove any shells.

2. 02

   Peel, core, and dice 1 ripe pear. Simmer in 2 tablespoons of water for 5-6 minutes until soft (or use as-is if very ripe).

3. 03

   Combine the cooked edamame and pear in a blender.

4. 04

   Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve a creamy, easily spoonable consistency.

How to offer
