Makes 11/3 cups (11 oz / 330 g) ■ Takes 30 minutes To add earthy richness to a sandwich without going the livery route, try this upbeat green edamame pâté. I developed it for meatless banh mi and discovered that it’s good with chicken and seafood, too. Notes Spread atop mayonnaise and drizzle on the Maggi for punch before adding other sandwich elements. instead of curry powder, try a pinch or two of ground tur- meric with garam masala or Chinese five-spice powder.

Instructions

  3. In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until starting to turn golden. Add the garlic and let sizzle for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
