Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen green peas
- 2 medium Onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen green peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until tender. Drain and allow the peas to cool slightly.
Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.
In a food processor, combine the cooked green peas, caramelized onions, walnuts, hard-boiled eggs, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Pulse the mixture in the food processor until it becomes smooth but slightly textured, mimicking the consistency of chopped liver. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if desired.
Transfer the mock chopped liver to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with crackers, bread, or raw veggies as a spread or dip.
