Mouthwatering Monday......I didn't forget!

See........I didn't forget the Mouthwatering Monday thread today. I almost did I must admit but remembered it thankfully!

Today's choice is.....edamame. I just bought some shelled edamame and need some recipes for it. I think you can eat it just like it is too, am I right or not? Not sure about this stuff since I have never tried it before but variety is the spice of life.

So let's work on this subject for the cookbook and see how it goes........maybe we will all learn something new today. I know for a fact I will!

                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Edamame!!  Yum!!  I use it for a snack.  I'll microwave 1/2 cup of it (shelled), let it cool, and slowly munch on it like munching on peanuts.

on to your destination.

MMMMM, edamame!

I usually just heat mine a bit and dust it with some Cavendar's seasoning.

But...if you want an actual dish made with it, here's a goodie:

1 c shelled edamame, defrosted if frozen
1 can 3 bean salad, with liquid
2 Tbs diced red onion

Mix all together, add salt and pepper to taste and maybe a dash of cider vinegar. Chill well.

Great source of protein and fiber!

Susan, what is Cavendar's seasoning? I have never heard of it.

Cavender's is a seasoning that you can buy here in AR. The label says" All purpose Greek seasoning. A tantalizing taste treat. An ancient Greek formula".  Funny thing, it's made here in Arkansas!  Didn't know the acient Greeks ever lived here, but what do I know? I never saw it when I lived in CA, so look around for it, and if you can't find it, I'll send you a bottle. It has MSG in it, which some people are sensitive to, so be aware of that.

The nutritional facts for edemame are:

per 1/2 cup:
100 cals,
3 gr fat
9 gr carb
3 gr fiber
8 gr protein

And yes, they are soybeans.  Edemame is the Japanese word for them. Soybean farmers here in Arkansas think folks are crazy for eating them, but good ol' Wal-mart (based here in N AR) sells them in the frozen vegetable section.

DON'T over heat them....the bean's casing pops and they just don't taste right.  Just heat them enough to defrost them, and a wee bit more.

i like to shell them and throw them cold into salads.

ive also tried them dried and salted, but didnt enjoy them that much.
i thought it might be like eating peanuts, but they tasted kinda blah that
way.

and steamed with a little salt is good too, just pry them out of the pods
with your teeth. they pop right into your mouth that way.

hugs, jacki

Linda....I  did send you a reply about the pecan crusted chicken. Darn site does wierd things sometimes ...you must have not received it.
I buy the chicken that way at my local meat market. It is their own recipe and they won't give it out. Sure is delicious!!

I will have to google it one of these days and see what I can come up with.

Love and hugs to you.....Boo
