Something small

Edamame with sea salt and lemon

Five minutes from the freezer, and slow to eat, which is half the point.

VeganServes 22 minutes to prepare, 5 to cook

What goes in

  • Frozen edamame in the pod250 g
  • Flaky sea salt1 pinch
  • Lemon½
  • Chilli flakes1 pinch

What to do

  1. Boil the pods in unsalted water for four to five minutes, until a bean pops out easily.
  2. Drain hard and tip into a warm bowl while the pods are still steaming.
  3. Toss with the salt, the chilli and a squeeze of lemon so it clings to the outside of the pods.

Swaps

Substitutions that hold up. Some of them change who the dish suits, and those say so.

  • Edamame → broad beans, podded, when they are in season

  • Chilli → toasted sesame seeds
