2 cups frozen shelled edamame, cooked according to package directions

1 cup silken tofu, drained

1/2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste

Pinch of white pepper, plus more to taste

1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin, plus more for garnish

3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 Tbs.)

1/4 cup olive oil

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste

Spiced Pita Chips

Set 1 Tbs. of the edamame aside for a garnish. Place the rest, along with the tofu, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, oil and lemon juice, in a food processor and process until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if desired.

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with the reserved edamame and a sprinkle of cumin. Serve with the spiced pita chips.
