edamame hummus

I've been lucky to have a few cooking classes as team-building exercise for companies I've worked for. I used to grouse about it being 'forced fun' but it really is a good time. As a side benefit, it is very entertaining to see just how many BSEE/MBA or BSEE/MSEE types it indeed does take to work a food processor (Answer: sometimes as many as 6.)
Our fearless team was tasked with making edamame hummus. I love cooking and new recipes, but I was Very, Very Skeptical about this one. Again, I should know better. This stuff rocks. I served it again at a dinner party the next day. And those people are still my friends and willing to come over for dinner again.

Dump the frozen edamame in a pot of salted boiling water for about two minutes. Drain and cool, ideally completely, but it is not required. Just make sure it's not hot.
Dump everything in a food processor. Make like Frozen and let it go, let it go until you have a pretty green paste. If you want a smoother texture, drizzle in a little more olive oil and pulse away.
Eat with raw veggies or pita chips (homemade or store bought)
NOTES:
1) The original recipe was pretty much double this one. That will make ALOT of hummus. Which is OK when you are at a team building exercise for 40+ people but overkill when you have a party of 8.
2) As with most of my edits to recipes, I used units that I could measure more naturally. For example 15-20 mint leaves vs. 1/4 cup.
