Brighton Beach Sid's Famous Vegetarian Chopped Liver- Green Bean image

This is the best version of "mock" chopped liver I've ever tasted (Thanks Sid). Makes a great vegetarian deli-style sandwich on some good pumpernickel, with some lettuce, tomato, and sliced raw onion.

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup walnut pieces
1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 -3 cups onions, thin sliced or chopped
1 1/2 cups well cooked green beans, chopped (even canned works in this)
3 hard-boiled eggs, coarse chopped
3/4 cup cooked brown lentils
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Lightly toast the walnuts in a heavy based pan.
  • Set aside.
  • Saute onions in the oil, cooking until golden (but NOT burned).
  • Add tomato paste to this and cook 1 more minute.
  • Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Add onion mix, toasted walnuts, and remaining ingredients to blender or food processor and grind together well (add a few spoons of water or vegetable broth, if necessary).
  • Taste for additional salt and pepper.
  • Chill for 4 hours (this also allows the flavour to develop).
  • Bring to room temperature for serving.
