Edamame Succotash

I decided to try some "clean eating" as I gear up to drop these last 5-10 pounds before the wedding. This dish is super healthy, very colorful, and my cup and a half that I had for lunch comes in at 320 calories, 10 grams of fat, 42 grams of complex carbohydrates, 11 grams of fiber, a whopping 19 grams of protein and only 2 grams of natural sugar. 

From Clean Start by Terry Walters

2 cups water

1 ½ cups shelled edamame

sea salt

2 ears corn, cooked, kernels cut off

1 ½ cups cooked aduki beans

1 small red onion, diced

1 small orange bell pepper, diced

1 small red bell pepper, diced

1 tbsp tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce)

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

In a medium pot over high heat, bring water to a boil. Add edamame beans and a few pinches of salt and cook uncovered for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, drain water and return edamame to pot. Add corn, beans, onion, and bell peppers and toss to combine. Add tamari, sesame oil and sesame seeds and fold to distribute all ingredients evenly. Serve warm or cold. Serves 4.
