Edamame 2 Ways

Boiled with Sea Salt

1 (16 oz) pkg frozen edamame in shell
salt

Put frozen edamame in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for a few minutes, and you'll notice the edamame start to all float to the top. Take one out and test it. If you are easily able to get the pod open with your teeth to eat the bean, they are done. Drain and then toss with sea salt to taste.

Garlic Parmesan

1 (16 oz) pkg frozen edamame in shell
1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt to taste

Steam edamame in microwave until slightly warm and not frozen by 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.

In a small food processor, combine olive oil and garlic. Process until well-combined. Heat a wok (or any pan) over medium high heat. Add edamame and toss for a few seconds. Add garlic oil and saute for a minute or two, stirring constantly. Add Parmesan, and salt and toss until well coated. Serve immediately.
