Ingredients
- 450 grams Cremini or white button mushrooms
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 70 grams Raw walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp towel or rinsing briefly under cold water. Pat dry and slice thinly.
Step 2
Peel and roughly chop the onion.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 10-12 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are browned. If using garlic, add it during the last minute of cooking.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked onion and mushroom mixture to a plate to cool slightly.
Step 6
In a food processor, add the walnuts and pulse a few times to break them into smaller pieces. Add the cooled onion and mushroom mixture, hard-boiled eggs, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth but still has some texture. Scrape down the sides as needed during processing.
Step 7
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Step 8
Spoon the vegetarian chopped liver into a serving bowl or dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature with matzo, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
