Courtesy Wolfgang Puck
What can I say? I love Wolfgang Puck. I love his fabulous food, his innovative restaurants and his commitment to the communities in which he works. How often do you go to two high profile fundraisers in one week and see major donations from Puck’s restaurants raising so much money for local charity events?
Wolfgang Puck was the first celebrity chef for good reason. With a commitment to the freshest of ingredients and cuisine with an innovative flair, one can count on Puck for healthy, creative and absolutely delicious food. This is why Wolfgang Puck continues to be the quintessential celebrity chef!
Who else but Puck would think of transforming a popular Japanese snack into a scrumptious appetizer? This Edamame Guacamole Recipe just happens to be healthy, light and beautiful to the eye. Try it!
SERVES: 10 – 12
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup shelled edamame

PREPARATION
Put the edamame, sour cream, lime juice and olive oil in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Pulse until pureed.
With a sharp knife, cut the avocados lengthwise in half, cutting around the pit. Twist the 2 halves between your hands to separate them.
With a sharp-edged tablespoon, scoop out and discard the pits.
Scoop the avocado pulp from each half into the food processor bowl.
