Tofu-Walnut Pâté

This quick and easy recipe makes a tasty vegan version of pâté, which is just a fancy way of saying chopped liver. Serve as a dip or spread on bread to make a sandwich.

Yield 6-8 servings
Time 20 minutes to prepare, plus 4 hours to chill
Tools
  • frying pan
  • wooden spoon
  • blender or food processor

Ingredients
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 3 medium onions, chopped
