Vegan Pate (Mock Chopped Liver)

[rocklassy1973]

This looks so good! I'm definitely gonna try this! Thanks for sharing this.

[carnrick]

You didn't give portions to make this recipe

[mysticpt1]

I make the same receipe except I use a can of peas and a can of french style string beans. pureed. It makes for an excellent base. Everything else is excatly the same.

I donot use the agave or the marsala. It looks just like chopped liver and everyone loves it.

[nsofast]

Made this today and changed just a couple things.One its better to add the marsala during the caramelization, and add a little extra. This sweetens without the agave.Also butter is way better for caramelizing than olive oil.

really tasty, next time I will use port or sherry

thanks!

[NICKAHLO]

@nsofast Remember! this is vegan, no butter allowed :)

[cdnmushroom]

Fresh mushrooms are great for making a mock pate. They have the perfect texture and are just as flavourful... not to mention healthy!

[thestreetsempty]

Mushrooms are little balls of happy.

[JaspersonianRules]

OMG I just made your mock liver pate - I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. No kidding!! It was sooo friggin' good. I omitted the agave and the marsala.  Didn't want it sweet and not a big fan of alcohol. Only used mushrooms, onions, nutritional yeast, walnuts, and garlic with salt and pepper to taste. Kept it real simple. I was so impressed - thank you very much for motivating and inspiring me to do this. I will make this often - I know that for sure :)

[JaspersonianRules]

Wow - I've been dying for a vegan pate forever and I found this vid just now!!! It looks so easy -  I'm embarrassed I didn't experiment before, but I only knew of the onions and mushrooms. Thanks so much for posting your video and I will definitely try it tonite.

[LadyRaine2010]

I am wondering if one can put the Marsala in while the mushrooms and onions are cooking. Will it change the flavor of the pate or would it enhance it more?

[Lagolop]

ikh tsunoyfshteln dos far ovntbroyt.!!

I just tasted it ... GESHMAK.

Mir veln esn shpeter :)

A dank (thanks).

[doniolhaha]

This is so good.

[LilyOpmac]

I love the way u present it's sexy ;) I'm gonna try it out cose I love onions got a ful fridge of them best: raw

[planetilex]

good basic (and ubiquitous) recipe. proposed drinking game: one shot for every times she says the word "caramelize."

[JHVH1]

The recipe I used has green beans instead of mushrooms. It might be interesting to try this version and then one with half mushrooms half green beans.

[cooksalot1]

Gonna try this with pecans. ( walnuts = deadly for me) mushrooms and onions it has to be good. At least my kids would say that lol.

[realinohio]

I tried this last night and it is AWESOME!

[everydaydish]

Thanks!!

[EntFan1]

that looks sooo good. i think i'm going to have to make it. im trying out to be a vegan for health reasons. I want this to stick. So far a whole two days without eating dairy or eggs. I don't eat that much anyway so it's not a big deal. I love cheese but when it comes down to it, it's just creamy salty stuff.

[wglianimaliliberi]

EntFan1 Give your body 3 weeks and it will stop craving cheese, it's just a habit, like anything, you just need to create a NEW habit and this pate looks awesome indeed as a spread.. There's lots of great vegan recipes around, it's an amazing journey, you'll feel lighter in every way :) Good on you for trying.

[fiftyleven]

obviously, it's faux gras....lol

[laraskye]

Looks amazing. Can't wait to try it!!!

[EbonySwan]

Awesome recipe. I used vidalia onions to prepare it and the result was excellent . I served the mock chopped liver (which I'm calling vegan foie gras) with toast points and champagne. Thanks for sharing another winner.

[BiggCojones]

great video....two questions only:

are they canned mushrooms?

can i use a blender instead of a food processor?

p.s. keep up the good work!!

[everydaydish]

They are fresh mushrooms, and you could try whizzing it in a blender. If may bog down the blender a bit though without extra liquid.

[thehymner]

does the way you look have anything to do with your vegan diet?

[patrick10001]

??????

[macchef01]

that would be a great filler 4 perogi

[elimonjal]

you went too fast on the ingredients which I am not familiar with, what is agave? you just showed a botlle. but recipe looks good I would like to try it after I find out what is agabe.

[everydaydish]

It's a natural sweetener made from cactus. You could sub another sweetener if you wanted to.

Look for agave nectar in grocery or healthfood stores (or online). It's great stuff!

[mamarati]

@elimonjal If you don't have any, add like a teaspoon of sugar while you're caramelizing the mushrooms and onions, near the end. Yum!

[XatxiFly]

I love all these recipes! Thank you! By the way, Julie is adorable, haha.

[2TonguesDave]

looks good. buyt there is one thing i don'T understand about vegan food. why is it that most of the receipies i have seen try to be fake meat? aren't you a vegan because you dont like it?

[tescomick]

I agree dave, My wife went to the doctors and asked him for something for her liver, he gave her an onion.

[everydaydish]

No, being vegan doesn't usually have anything to do with liking the taste of meat or not. There are many reasons to be vegan, from the health benefits to animal rights to the environment.

From a health standpoint here, this spread has no cholesterol, is high in omega 3 fatty acids and won't clog your arteries like traditional pate will. Plus, it tastes great!

[lenaris]

This is a good point: I am a big burly guy and part time vegetarian for several reasons:

1) Health benefits of decreasing animal fat and eating more vegetables. Vegetables with every meal.

2) Industrialization of meat (esp beef) IMO is bad on a lot of levels- Deforestation, animal cruelty, contributing to poverty, energy consumption.

3) I can eat more volume of vegetarian food for fewer calories (usually) than I can with animal or highly processed foodstuffs.

Thanks for the recipe!

[concern4civility]

I had a recipe for "no liver" pate from a whole foods type deli in Boulder... I lost it. it was with Lentils & Walnuts primarily. have anything like that. Tho the mushroom/onion look yummy.

[geoffge]

I absolutely adore your videos and recipes. Your steamed vegan seitan sausages changed my life. :D

[MollyManga]

Yeah..I make them for my vegan cat too ;-)

[foxyfoxglove]

You are retarded. Cats are carnivores.

[everydaydish]

Thanks!!

[pellebee]

theres this book called "how it all vegan" that was amazingly easy and simple and delicious! they had a recipe like this but it went further.... adding mashed potatoes, and some others like one spicy pepper, blending it, then baking it, creating a crispy top, it was excellent!

p

[mskerripa]

This looks yummy! I'm definitely going to try to make this.

[shestudios]

What type of mushroom did you us? With the brown edges they don't look like button.

[everydaydish]

I used cremini mushrooms.

[freeflowingjoy]

Simple easy and quick. Lovely. Sounds yummy. And nicely presented. THANKS. :)

[Zianexx]

You're hot ;D And a great dish too.

[chrissup19isgay]

yes, she is hot and a vegan, what else can you ask for? :D

[Zianexx]

heh, true!:)

[seansymons]

Awesome video and thanks for giving us some great ideas...I am vegan raw, and my family will NEVER go for that...so, If I can cook and make healthy "meat" substitutes..they will never know the difference!

[560287144602817]

hey that was a serious group of questions why is everyone bagging my comment,i dont understand how anyone can live a vegan life.i got one answer which is good,but would it be possible to ask a vegan that does eat moch meats to answer my question without offending.i dont care if you eat veg so another question are you marking my comment as poor because im not a vegan?thats my only problem with any vegan really.i had a vegan tell me he would kill my family for eating meat,my sis is vegan

[560287144602817]

imnot a vegan just thought id watch this vid, i wont eat offal or fake offal.i have a couple of questions:why do vegans insist on making things that are supposed to taste like meat?do vegans really want to eat meat but wont! and also how do you consume enough food without eating dairy since whey powder is found in almost everything it must limit choices.one more, would vegans have a problem with meat if it was killed outright with no misery,i mean if someone snuck up on it and just shot it?

[revatoby]

Funny you should mention this. A friend took me to a vegan Chinese restaurant. The dishes were like Kung Po "chicken," "beef" and broccoli, etc. A huge menue with all "meat" and "chicken" dishes. The very thought of all that made me queasy. Believe me, I don't want to eat meat, and since I don't, I certainly don't want to eat anything disguised as meat.

[CaptainBeetheart]

Well a lot of vegans miss the taste, or really more often the texture of meat but simply have ethical objections to eating actual meat. However many vegans don't even like eating things that look or taste like meat. Not eating whey powder is easy since many vegans just simply don't like eating many of the pre packaged products that tend to contain it. As for your last question, you may find some vegans that would be okay with this, but the overwhelming majority would absolutely not be.

[CaptainBeetheart]

People tend to be vegan for different reasons. Some simply don't like factory farming, others would never eat meat or dairy for any reason ever no matter what. I don't eat many meat substitutes because frankly I don't think they're that good when compared to more natural products such as tofu or tempeh. I do eat them sometimes because, let's face it, they're hilarious.

[CaptainBeetheart]

All that being said, vegetarian chopped liver is a fairly traditional Jewish dish. Because of the Kosher prohibition on mixing dairy and meat in one meal, there are many meat and dairy substitutes in Kosher cuisine. In fact many meat or dairy substitutes really exist for this reason, and the fact that they're vegan is just a lucky coincidence. The Tofutti brand of soy based "dairy" products is a good example of this.

[koolbossjock]

looks good but whats the amount of mushrooms and onions??

[koolbossjock]

Cool thnx a lot,your recipes look great.I love chopped liver but do not eat it for the fat and colest is thru the roof.Have a great weekend.Dave

[chrisfineart]

This was a great vegan pate. I added fresh garlic and instead of using olive oil, I used Sesame oil. It was fabulous. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. Keep up the great work!!

[everydaydish]

Excellent idea! Thanks.

[InsubordinationFreak]

Just an update. This is so delicious and simple. Thank you!

[InsubordinationFreak]

Yeah, don't call it mock chopped liver. I didn't click on it for months because of the title. Maybe just call it vegan pate. I do regret not clicking on it but luckily I have all the ingredients in the house (scurries off to make some).

[everydaydish]

Thanks! I'll have to give this a try with nutritional yeast. It sounds delish!

[afringedweller]

Very nicely done.

Yeah, these are great hors d'oevers, and we like a little Red Star nutritional yeast mixed in or sprinkled on top.

Julie, this vid was very nicely done!

[eventhevegans]

i'm going to use this for hors d'oevres.

[everydaydish]

It makes awesome hors d'oevres!

[everydaydish]

Hi halfcupofsugar! I'm glad you liked it. It's sooo good on toasted rye bread, with a dill pickle on the side! I haven't had white fish salad, so I don't think I can help you there. Let me know if you come up with a recipe. Maybe you could puree smoked tofu with a little mayo. Hmmm...

[halfcupofsugar]

I just made, and ate your recipe! It was so good, but I made a few slight variations: I used some molasses instead of agave. I used to love my mom's chopped liver, but I haven't been able to eat it since going off the meat. I've you can come up with a vegan alternate for white fish salad then my second childhood will be complete!

[halfcupofsugar]

Me wanty!

[everydaydish]

Hope you like it Sabyds. It's really good with shitake mushrooms too.

[Sabyds]

WOW! This looks REALLY good! Ima gonna make this!

[adw526]

the food looks great! did you get this recipe from the cookbook how it all vegan?

[everydaydish]

Hi! Glad you asked...and the answer is no. We have been tinkering with this recipe for years. There are numerous variations of this recipe and this one has worked the best for us. Enjoy!
