Spooky cauldron with green dip made from edamame, pesto, and ricotta cheese. Serve this crowd pleaser in a large acorn squash atop a "fire" of veggies.

Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen shelled edamame beans (3 cups)

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1/2 cup pesto

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon (1 tsp zest; 3 Tbsp juice)

  • 2 clove garlic

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 1/4 tsp Freshly ground pepper

  • “Dippers”: crackers, carrots, bell peppers 

Directions

  • Cook edamame according to package directions; drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Transfer to food processor with ricotta, pesto, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Process until dip is smooth, adding a little water to thin if necessary, until medium-thick consistency.

  • Place “serving cauldron” on a serving platter; fill with dip. Arrange the desired “dippers” around the cauldron to look like the fire that a cauldron sits over.
