Edamame Hummus



my version:

1 1/2 cups green soy beans (edamame - or u can use brown or black canned soy beans)
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 lemon juiced
2 clove garlic smashed
4 teaspooon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon chief curry powder which contains coriander, cumin, garlic,turmeric, & fenugreek
1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Boil the beans in salted water for 4 to 5 minutes, or microwave, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes.

In a food processor, puree the edamame, tahini, water, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, cumin, and coriander until

smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and mix until absorbed.

Transfer to a small bowl, stir in the cilantro and drizzle with remaining oil. cover and refrigerate for a day or at least

until chilled.


Could you give a carb count for this? How does the carb count compare to traditional hummus?
