MOCK CHOPPED LIVER
(Cashew, Onion, and String Bean Pate)
Makes about 2 cups

1 ½ tablespoons safflower oil
1 ½ cups chopped onions
1 cup toasted cashews
1 cup steamed fresh string beans, cut into 1-inch lengths, or 1 cup thawed
frozen string beans
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a small skillet. Saute the onions slowly over moderately low
heat, stirring frequently, until nicely browned.

Combine the onions with the remaining ingredients in the container of a food
processor. Process until smoothly pureed, scraping down the sides as needed.
Store in a jar until
needed, and bring to room temperature before serving.
