This should really be called Vegetarian Pate, because everyone who's ever had chopped liver says this tastes very different. However, for the sake of the history of this recipe (my grandmother's childhood friend), the name will remain.
The key is to process all the ingredients separately. If you process them all together, it tastes the same, but looks rather ugly and is very mushy.
Ingredients:
3 Hard boiled eggs
1 Small can of peas (drained)
1 Small can of string beans (drained)
1 Large onion sliced in thin half-moons
1/4 lb Margarine
1/2 Cup Walnuts
6 Ritz crackers (or equivalent)
1 tsp salt (more to taste)
1 tsp pepper (more to taste)
Directions:
1. Quickly process beans and peas until well processed in food processor and remove into a bowl
2. Sautee all but 1 TB of the onion in the margarine until limp and clear (not browned) then process with the raw onion, remove and put into the bowl with the processed beans and peas.
3. Fold together bean mixture and onions until well blended
4. Process eggs, leaving a bit chunky. Remove from processor and fold into the mixture
5. Process crackers until they are fine crumbs, remove and fold into mixture
6. Process walnuts and fold into mixutre
6. Add salt and pepper to taste
