Description:

This rendition of “mock” chopped liver is an ode to flavor and innovation. It elevates humble ingredients into a gastronomic delight that’s perfect for spreading on your favorite pumpernickel bread. Pair it with crisp lettuce, juicy tomato slices, and thinly sliced raw onion for a sandwich experience that’s simply divine.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup walnut pieces
  • 1-2 onions
  • 2-3 cups green beans
  • 1 1/2 hard-boiled eggs
  • 3 cups brown lentils
  • 3/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2-3 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Lightly toast the walnuts: In a heavy-based pan, gently toast the walnut pieces until they release their aroma and turn golden brown. Set them aside to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.

  2. Saute onions: In the same pan, sauté the onions in oil until they achieve a glorious golden hue, being careful not to let them burn.

  3. Incorporate tomato paste: Add the tomato paste to the onions and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld into a rich and savory base.

  4. Blend the mixture: Remove the onion and tomato mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer it to a blender or food processor along with the toasted walnuts and the remaining ingredients.

  5. Grind together: Blend the ingredients until they form a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring that all the flavors meld together harmoniously. If needed, add a few spoons of water or vegetable broth to achieve the desired texture.

  6. Season to perfection: Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to suit your taste preferences.

  7. Chill and let the flavors develop: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to mingle and intensify.

  8. Serve with flair: Before serving, allow the chopped liver to come to room temperature to fully appreciate its complex flavors.

This delectable spread is not just a mere condiment; it’s a culinary journey that celebrates the art of vegetarian cuisine. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply treating yourself to a satisfying meal, Brighton Beach Sid’s Famous Vegetarian Chopped Liver is sure to leave a lasting impression. Enjoy the delightful fusion of flavors and savor each moment as you indulge in this culinary masterpiece! 🌟
