Begin by rinsing the lentils under cold water. In a medium-sized pot, add the lentils and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes or until lentils are tender. Drain any excess water and set aside to cool slightly.
While the lentils are cooking, in a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, sautéed onion and garlic, walnuts, soy sauce, liquid smoke, paprika, ground coriander, black pepper, and salt. Process until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Toast the slices of whole wheat bread until golden brown. Spread a tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each slice.
To assemble the sandwich, lay a piece of lettuce on four slices of the toasted bread. Spread a generous amount of the vegan liverwurst mixture on top of the lettuce.
Add tomato slices on top of the vegan liverwurst. Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise-side down.
Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them tightly to store in the refrigerator for up to a day.
