GF Vegetarian Lentil Walnut Pate

For our Passover seder I use this vegetarian pate in place of chicken liver pate. Everyone loves it!

Ingredients

1/2 cup lentils

3 medium yellow onions

1 cup water (to cook lentils)

1/2 cup walnuts

4 scrambled egg whites

salt to taste



Directions:

Bring lentils to a boil and then simmer for about 45 minutes or until water is absorbed. Chop onions and saute in olive oil until carmelized (transparent). Remove onions from pan and cook egg whites in a scramble fashion. If your food processor cannot fit all ingredients at once put equal amounts of lentils, onions, cooked egg whites and walnuts into food processor and process until a smooth pate and add salt to taste. Repeat with equal parts until done. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour but more time is better to let it firm up and cool. Serve on a plate with bibb lettuce and tomato slices for a great appetizer with gf  matzah or crackers.
