Garlic Parmesan Edamame with P. Allen Smith
Garlic Parmesan Edamame
(1) 16 ounce package frozen edamame in shell
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Steam edamame in microwave until slightly warm and not frozen. (You can do this one of 2 ways – I have a microwave steamer that I use, or even easier is throwing the edamame in a Ziploc bag with about a tbsp. of water, sealing it, leaving a small opening for steam, and heating it on high for 2 minutes.) Drain and set aside.
You can also boil a large pot with water and set a metal colander on top with the edamame in the colander. The steam will warm the edamame.
In a small food processor, combine olive oil and garlic. Process until well combined. Heat a Wok over medium high heat. Add edamame and toss for a few seconds. Add garlic oil and sauté for a minute or two, stirring constantly. Add breadcrumbs, Parmesan, oregano, onion powder and salt and pepper. Then toss until well coated. Serve immediately.
