Edamame Hummus

Edamame Hummus

Ingredients:
2 cups shelled edamame
1 tablespoon tahini paste
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
8 toasted slices whole wheat bread

Directions:
TO MAKE THE MARINADE
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the marinade.
TO MAKE THE TOFU
1 Wrap the tofu in paper towels and press firmly to remove excess moisture. Place the
tofu in the marinade bowl, ensuring that it is completely submerged. Marinate for at
least 3 hours, or overnight.
2 Remove the tofu from the marinade and slice each half in half, creating quarters of
tofu.
3 Assemble a stovetop smoker according to the manufacturer’s directions. Place the
wood chips in the base of the smoker. Arrange the tofu on a rack and smoke it over
medium heat for 1 hour. Set aside to cool.
TO MAKE THE HUMMUS
Meanwhile, combine all the hummus ingredients in a food processor and blend
until smooth.
TO ASSEMBLE THE BITES
1 Slice the smoked tofu into approximately 1- to 1½-inch pieces. Spread 1 tablespoon
of edamame hummus on each slice of bread. Lay 2 slices of tofu on 4 slices of the
bread, and cover with the remaining 4 slices.
2 Cut the sandwiches into quarters, using a serrated knife to trim off the crusts, if
desired.
