One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday in LA was to hang out with my friend Raul. We'd spend the day catching up on life, and of course drinking wine. I miss him already, even though I have only been gone for a couple of days. I made sure to get one of these lazy Saturdays in before I left and we had a great time watching Ina, drinking wine, and flipping through the recent issue of Food & Wine magazine. This recipe caught my eye immediately and as I was grocery shopping on the way home, I picked up some edamame so I could make it soon. I always keep all of the other ingredients in my pantry. This comes together quickly and has an addictive smoky, garlicky, and salty flavor. I'll be honest with you and tell you I consumed the entire bowl of edamame that you see above about 45 seconds after I took the picture. It was so worth it.
