Menus often use the word “California” to give a menu item a healthy halo. Walnuts, which grow in abundance in the northern section of the state, are rich in heart-healthy oils and antioxidants. Chef Clark blends creamy walnut butter with edamame for a snack that rates high in nutrition and taste.

2 cloves garlic
2 lb. edamame, blanched and shocked
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. California walnut butter
