A creamy, high-protein smashed edamame bean toast topping makes the perfect healthy breakfast or quick lunch. This fresh and savoury recipe features a brilliant zero-waste twist to use up crunchy kale stems that would otherwise end up in the bin.
Boil water in a pot and blanch kale stems for about 2-3 minutes, till tender. Once done, drain the water.
Defrost edamame beans in cold water. Drain and set aside.
Wash, pat dry, remove mint from the stem and roughly chop the herbs.
Peel the garlic.
In a food processor, add kale stems, edamame beans, garlic, salt, lemon juice, black pepper, olive oil, cream cheese, and chopped herbs, then blend until a rough puree forms. Check and adjust seasoning if required.
Toast the bread. Add the spread on top, garnish as desired and serve immediately.
