Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shelled edamame (frozen, thawed)
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as needed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a nuttier taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (regular or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon za’atar spice blend

Instructions

  1. If using frozen edamame, thaw completely by leaving it in a colander at room temperature or rinsing under warm water. Pat dry to avoid excess moisture (about 5 minutes).
  2. In your food processor, combine the edamame, avocado, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and cumin. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together.
  3. With the processor running, slowly add water (about 1-2 tablespoons) until you reach a creamy, spreadable consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed to blend evenly. Season with salt to taste (total blending ~3-4 minutes).
  4. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to meld flavors (optional but recommended).
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Add yogurt, water, and olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a touch more flour (mixing time ~5 minutes).
  7. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  8. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a thin circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle generously with za’atar.
  9. Heat your skillet over medium heat. Place one flatbread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until puffed and golden with dark spots. Repeat for remaining pieces. Keep cooked flatbreads warm in a clean towel.
  10. Plate the fresh avocado and edamame hummus alongside the warm za’atar flatbread. Garnish hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of za’atar or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for best creaminess. Thaw edamame completely to avoid gritty texture. Add water slowly to achieve perfect hummus consistency. Let flatbread dough rest to ensure tenderness. Cook flatbread on moderate heat to avoid burning and ensure puffing. For gluten-free flatbread, substitute flour with almond flour and use dairy-free yogurt. Store hummus covered with plastic wrap pressed on surface to prevent browning. Reheat flatbread gently in skillet or oven, avoid microwaving.
