A Spiced-Up App

...A tasty appetizer.  For sushi night tonight, I made a spiced-up edamame recipe.
This recipe comes from Food and Wine magazine and was enjoyed by all-try it out for a fun new twist!

Chipotle Garlic Edamame

INGREDIENTS
One 14 oz bag frozen edamame in the pods
1 T olive oil
1 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Coarse sea salt
black pepper
DIRECTIONS
1. Bring a large saucepan with the bottom 2 inches filled with water to a boil.  Steam the edamame on top of rubber steamer.  (or steam whole bag in microwave according to package directions). Drain and pat dry.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil with the chipotle powder, miced garlic and ground cumin. 
3. Add the edamame pods and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened, 1 to 2 minutes.  Season the edamame with sea salt and black pepper and transfer to a bowl.  Serve warm or at room temp with soy sauce. (Tamari for a gluten free alternative)


What is edamame?
Edamame is soybeans in pods.  Edamame is a great source of fiber and is a plant-based, complete protein! It's a healthy, inexpensive and low-fat snack to enjoy any time of the day.

Welcome! As a Registered Dietitian with diet restrictions, I had a sparked interest to share healthy, gluten free recipes with readers! Over the years, cooking has truly become an obsession...and stress reliever. The last five years, I have had to learn how to cook and bake gluten free after being diagnosed with a severe gluten intolerance. With that being said, I have researched, experimented and developed a whole new way to go about food preparation. I now mix all my flours, bake my own GF bread, and alter and create my own recipes. I would love to hear from you with questions, comments, recipe ideas and/or anything and everything in between. Hope you enjoy! Email with questions or comments at: sharleyschreiner@yahoo.com
