I have been having a lot of fun in the kitchen lately.  So much so, that I now have more pictures than postings! Whew!

Monday Night I made Sweet Mini Peppers with an Edamame Pate.  I served the peppers on a bed of Arugula with Lemon Vinaigrette.

I still had some pesto from last week and I needed to used the rest of it.  (I dislike wasting food.)   I had wanted to make this dish last weekend, but I never got the opportunity to…till now!!

So I started with some edamame (soybeans)…

I added the pesto from the other day.  Recipe here, and then some avocado into the processor…

I also added 1 garlic clove and the juice of one lemon to help it mix a bit better in the Food Processor.

Here we are!!! Ready to use!!!

Edamame Avocado Basil Pate

2 cups Fresh Edamame

2 T. Spinach Basil Pesto

1 Avocado

2 T. Lemon Juice

9 Mini Sweet Peppers

Preparation: Put Edamame in Food Processor with “S” blade.  Process Edamame for a moment.  Add basil pesto, avocado, and Lemon Juice.  Process.  Add a little bit of water if needed.

Next I deveined the mini peppers and cut the tops off of them.  I sliced the sides and filled them with the pate and garnished them with a few pine nuts and basil!

I served this on a bed of fresh Arugula with some lemon vinaigrette I have been working on as well. (Recipe will be posted when it is perfected a bit more!!

Namaste!
