MOCK CHOPPED LIVER

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Appetizer     Vegetarian

Yield 2 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large onion, diced
1 can peas
1 cup pecans or walnuts, or combination
2 hard boiled egg whites
Mayonnaise, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

  • Saute onions in oil until browned. Add onions to food processor with peas and pecans. Process until smooth with some texture. Remove from processor into small bowl. Add chopped egg white. Stir. If creamier consistency is desired, add mayonnaise to taste. Add salt and pepper. Serve with crackers.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your mock chopped liver taste its best. Look for high-quality mushrooms, walnuts, and onions.
  • Don't overcook the mushrooms: Overcooked mushrooms will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are softened and browned.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a food processor to chop the ingredients: A food processor will make quick work of chopping the mushrooms, walnuts, and onions. You can also use a sharp knife, but it will take a little longer.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar for brightness.
  • Serve immediately or chill: Mock chopped liver can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are chilling it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Mock chopped liver is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a spread, dip, or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms and walnuts, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious mock chopped liver that everyone will enjoy.
