Looks so good! Sadia, what would you recommend substituting the tahini for? My daughter has a sesame allergy, so we avoid tahini. She’s also allergic to nuts, peanuts, and eggs, sooo…I’d love to hear your ideas!

Hey Jennifer, we haven't tested it out but perhaps sunflower seed butter could work! Just be sure to give the dip a taste and adjust the spices or salt if needed. We hope you enjoy it 🙂

can i freeze the hummus as it's only me who will be eating ?

PUL Team - Nov. 10, 2021, 1:56 a.m.

Hi Jassimar! We haven't tested it out, although it appears other edamame-based dips freeze well. We'd recommend freezing single-serving portions in an airtight container for up to four months and thawing the smaller portions in the fridge when ready to enjoy. The texture may change a bit, but giving it a good stir should do the trick. Do let us know how it goes if you're able to give it a try 😊

Jonna - Jan. 23, 2022, 5:43 p.m.

I've just defrosted some that I froze and it tastes perfectly fine.

PUL Team - Jan. 23, 2022, 8:01 p.m.

So lovely to hear! Thanks for confirming, Jonna 😊

This is such a wonderful recipe! It tastes amazing on toast with some garnishes and it's a fun change from the usual hummus that I probably make a bit too often ;) Thank you guys!!

I substituted frozen spinach for peas (as I ran out), and it was still absolutely delicious and creamy! Great on toast topped with chilli flakes/dukkah for lunch. Thanks for the great flavour combo 😊

Love the sub, Darshana! So glad you enjoyed the dip 😃

This was okay. I loved the idea of using edamame and peas, but I think I was expecting a different flavor profile.

I just made a batch for my dinner guests tonight and forgot the garlic! It still tastes sensational. I also had to substitute fresh lemon verbena leaves for lemon juice. Still tastes amazing. Thank you for this recipe and the opportunity to make better food for myself, family and friends, and to impress them all too!!

We're so grateful the dip was enjoyed during your special evening! Thank you for the review and support, Kerryn 😃

A lovely variation on the original hummus recipe!! I love peas, and they pair so well with the mint leaves. I tried this hummus as a condiment for a cooked meal instead of the regular carbohydrate choices (like potatoes), which was a success. I prepared 11 servings, which were sufficient for lunch during four days. Amazing! However, I have to be careful with the water; I think that the hummus will be less liquid using half the amount of water. I guess peas contain more water (also from the cooking process) than chickpeas

PUL Team - April 20, 2021, 4:59 a.m.

We're so glad you enjoyed the dip, Louise! We do find peas a bit more watery than chickpeas as well 🙂
