Lemon Thyme Edamame Hummus

I try every year, desperately, to grow an herb garden. This goes well for about a month, and then slowly things begin to wilt. I will conquer you, green thumb! Among the future fallen soldiers I gather up from Lowe’s there is always some lemon thyme. Not to be confused with the stereotypical normal thyme, who want’s to be normal anyway? There is something about the added citrus notes that I just love to walk by and smell, not to mention eat.

Hummus is one of those recipes that is really easy to customize and simple to make at home. Who can’t throw things into a food processor and click a button? Boom. You’re at hummus central. This recipe calls for a mix of Garbanzo and Edamame beans which I think gives it a nice texture.

I like my hummus probably a little thicker than the average bear. To me it makes for better dip-ability/spread-ability. But don’t let me cramp your style if you like a thinner hummus. Simply add more oil until it reaches a consistency you’re happy with.
