Author Notes
I make a version of this when fava's are in season and I have the leisure to sit in my back yard and shuck. The other week a bag of frozen edamame fell on my head whilst rooting through the freezer for a bag of shrimp stock I knew had to be in there, I decided to make a edamame version for my dinner guests to snack on while I made a new stock. It's bright green, uber flavorful and fairly healthy. —Aliwaks
