Passover Mock Chopped Liver (Mushroom, Cashew, and Onion)

Passover Mock Chopped Liver (Mushroom, Cashew, and Onion)

30 min
10 servings

it's a Jewish faux classic. It might look a bit like the dish it's intending to imitate, but it tastes nothing like it — thank goodness!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (use white, baby bella, or cremini)
  • 3/4 cup roasted cashews (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or to taste)
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Sauté the onions slowly over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until nicely browned. Add the mushrooms and cook until they've wilted down.

  2. 2

    Combine the onions and mushrooms with the remaining ingredients in the container of a food processor. Process until smoothly pureed, scraping down the sides as needed.

  3. 3

    Serve at once with matzo, matzo crackers, or raw veggies. Or store in a tightly lidded container in the fridge until needed, and bring to room temperature before serving.
