MOCK CHOPPED " LIVER " ( MUSHROOMS & LENTILS )



Mock Chopped

This is a recipe I created for the holidays. After tasting many of the "faux" chopped livers out there I decided to create something with a more meaty taste, look and texture. ENJOY!

Categories     Spreads

Time 40m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) box baby portabella mushrooms
1 (8 ounce) box sliced white mushrooms
1 (4 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces
2 large onions
6 hard-boiled eggs
3/4 cup cooked lentils (drained)
1/3 cup walnuts
2 -3 tablespoons dry onion flakes
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Finely chop both onions but 1/4 leave raw and sauté in oiled frypan till blackened; set aside.
  • Coarsely chop the hard boiled eggs and set aside with the browned onion (save a spoon or two of grated egg as a garnish).
  • Brown all the mushrooms in a lightly oiled frypan till completely dry and brown, then salt lightly and place in food processor.
  • Add 1/4 raw onion and all the remaining ingredients except for the dehydrated onion, browned onion and egg. Blend till smooth.
  • Remove from processor and fold in the browned onion, dehydrated onion and chopped egg. Chill overnight and serve.
  • Timesaver Tip: Boil the eggs in the pot with the lentils.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your mock chopped liver a more complex flavor and texture. Shiitake, cremini, and portobello mushrooms are all good choices.
  • Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
  • Don't over-process the mushrooms. You want them to have a little bit of texture, so don't puree them completely.
  • Add seasonings to taste. Onion, garlic, and parsley are all classic additions to mock chopped liver. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Serve mock chopped liver with your favorite accompaniments. Crackers, bread, or vegetables are all good choices.
