If you miss the taste of chopped liver, give this vegetarian pâté (not “pate”) a try. You might even be able to fool your non-veggie friends.

Directions | Sauté the tempeh, onion, celery, and garlic in the oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes.
Add mushrooms and continue sautéing until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and cook over low heat until all liquid has been absorbed. Let cool for up to an hour. Place all of the ingredients in blender and process until you see nothing but a smooth brown paste. Spread into bowls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with bread, crackers, or crudités. |
Notes | I adapted this recipe using ideas from several others until I got it just right. When my husband tried it, he kept saying, "It tastes like liver!" so I guess I did a pretty good job. 🙂
