4. Remove the remaining pulp from the roasted lemons. Discard any seeds and the lemon rinds.

5. In a food processor, work the edamame mixture with the remaining lemon juice for 1 minute. With the machine running, add ¼ cup of water and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Work the mixture until smooth, adding more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
