Chipotle Edamame

Chipotle Edamame Recipe

This is a quick and delicious way to spruce up that bag of frozen edamame in your freezer.

Ingredients
1 bag of frozen edamame,( i used shelled, but you could also use them unshelled)
2-3 chipotle peppers from the can (chopped)
3 garlic cloves minced
1 Tablespoon of olive oil

Directions
If using edamame in the shell cook it first, if using shelled place the frozen edamame in a large skillet with the olive oil. Cook over medium heat. Add the chipotle peppers and some of the liquid of the peppers, depending on how spicy you like it. Add chopped garlic and continue to stir until done.

May be eaten hot or cold. Enjoy!

Health Benefits of Edamame

Edamame has high nutritional value and health benefits. These green soybeans are a natural source of antioxidants and isoflavones. Antioxidants are beneficial because they can help prevent negative effects of free radicals in the body. Eating antioxidant-rich foods has been associated with strengthening your immune system and with reducing your risk of cancer and heart disease. Isoflavones are phytohormones that may help reduce prostrate and breast cancer, diminish the risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure levels and ease menopausal symptoms.
