Steamed Edamame with Sea Salt

Each month, we try to add a new fruit or vegetable to try that we have not liked or ever had before. Recently we tried edamame for the first time. It is one of my new favorite vegetables! I can't believe I have missed out on this vegetable for so long. While on vacation, I had it again at one of the local restaurants in Tampa. I strongly encourage you or your family to give this veggie a try. You might be surprised at how delicious it is. It is also a very nutritious veggie, that provides fiber and the healthy kinds of fat that your body needs. It is a very tasty vegetable and could be used in several different dishes. The recipe I am giving you is very simple and plain. You could shell the edamame though and add it to different stir fry recipes or salads.

Sea Salt

Directions:
Steam edamame for 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle generously with sea salt.
Do not eat the pods of the edamame...just the beans inside them. :)

Suggestions:
*I shell the edamame and will sprinkle lite soy sauce on them occassionally.
