Brighton Beach Sid'S Famous Vegetarian Chopped Liver- Green Bean - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup walnut pieces
1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 -3 cups onions, thin sliced or chopped
1 1/2 cups well cooked green beans, chopped (even canned works in this)
3 hard-boiled eggs, coarse chopped
3/4 cup cooked brown lentils
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Lightly toast the walnuts in a heavy based pan.
Set aside.
Saute onions in the oil, cooking until golden (but NOT burned).
Add tomato paste to this and cook 1 more minute.
Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Add onion mix, toasted walnuts, and remaining ingredients to blender or food processor and grind together well (add a few spoons of water or vegetable broth, if necessary).
Taste for additional salt and pepper.
Chill for 4 hours (this also allows the flavour to develop).
Bring to room temperature for serving.
