ingredients

1 bag (12 ounces) frozen shelled edamame

1 pounds fresh asparagus ends removed

2 green onions sliced

3 cloves garlic crushed

0.25 cup tahini

0.5 teaspoons lemon zest

0.25 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoons cilantro chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoons ground coriander

0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper

1 teaspoons black pepper

1 French baguette slice thin

1 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves of garlic

directions

Preheat oven to 400*. Bring edamame to a boil in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover; cook, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute. Add in asparagus and cook together for an additional 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and run under cold water. Pulse edamame, asparagus, green onions, garlic, tahini, zest, juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and pepper in a food processor until mixture is the consistency of guacamole; add water 1 tablespoon at a time if too thick. Place sliced baguette on a cookie tray and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Rub each slice with a garlic clove. Place a large dollop of hummus on each slice and garnish with a sprig of cilantro.
