    Green Sauce

     

     

    RECIPE:


    1/4cup olive oil

    4-5 Garlic Cloves

    12oz bag frozen shelled Edamame, defrosted

    ¼ Cup or about 3 Scallions, greens and whites

    16oz Frozen Spinach, thawed and slightly drained

    ½ Cup Parmesan

    ½ cup Fresh Parsley, un-chopped

    1Tbs Hot Sauce

    1 lime, juice

    1tsp Garlic Powder

    1.5tsp Salt

     

    Combine everything in a food processor and puree until smooth.  Stream in water to thin out and get the consistency you want, about ½ cup.  Saute in a pan for 5-7 minutes, add more water if necessary. Leave thicker if using a spread for sandwiches and wraps or thin it out to put over pasta, toss with rice or serve over Chicken, Shrimp or Beef.  Enjoy!!

     Makes 3.5 - 4cups

     

    NOTES:

     

    • Leave out oil to make this extra low calorie and add more water instead

    I just made this today! It is so YUMMY and guilt free! I did a rough calculation on the calories and it came out at around 58 calories per cup. (Surely that can't be right!) My 20 mo. old helped me make it and she can't stop eating it. Kid approved! Thanks for this great recipe!
