Better Than The Real Thing: Mock Chopped Liver recipe

Better Than The Real Thing: Mock Chopped Liver recipe

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1-2 very large sweet onions
  
• 4 stalks celery
  
• 10 oz. baby Bella (or your favorite) mushrooms
  
• 1/2 lb. raw cashews
  
• 3-4 tablespoon favorite vegan mayonnaise substitute -or- a couple of tablespoons olive oil -or- 1/8 to 1/4 cup tofu
  
• 1 teaspsoon or so of vegan sugar, to taste
  
• salt and pepper
  

Directions:

This works best if you process all
ingredients fine before cooking, or you
can chop coarsely and grind afterwards.

In a large wok sprayed with olive oil,
saute onions until starting to brown.
Add celery and saute 5 minutes, until
soft. (spray a bit more oil if needed at
any point) Add mushrooms, cook another
5 minutes. Finally, add ground cashews
(if you have cashew butter it makes this
step faster!) and cook another 3 minutes
or so. When everything is cooked and
ground pretty fine, add the mayo
substitute or oil to bind. Chill.
Serve on vegan crackers or lettuce leaves.

The die-hard chopped liver fans liked
this better than the meat version!
