Walnut Lentil Pate ~ aka old school "Mock Chopped Liver"

Passed on to me via my Aunt Marilyn via Lois via….. Consider yourself now part of the family!

This is a vegetarian version of Chopped Liver-eww –that still sounds off putting, but anyways, that was a traditional appetizer at our family functions and it just brings back memories—pretty much food memories- of my Nana! Unlike her other dishes, Chopped Liver was one of the foods that basically threw me to switch teams! Hence begins my journey in becoming a vegetarian! This Pate’ is sooo sooo very delicious served as an appetizer with veggies or crackers or use as a spread in sandwiches. High protein.
