Printer version of this recipe

(note) This originally came from a Jewish Home Extension cookbook, whose writer or editor had a penchant for whimsical in-joke titles

(note 2)
I think I remember using pecans instead of walnuts. I usually do make that substitution, because most years I buy local pecans from the grove at harvest, at a tiny fraction of the grocery store price, though more work as I need to pick them out of the shells myself

Cooking time: 30 min
Chilling time: 2 hours

2 cups water
1 cup lentils
2 boullion cubes, chicken or vegetable
1 tsp olive oil or margarine
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup walnuts
salt and pepper, to taste
Parsley, for garnish
Cocktail rye bread
Crisp raw vegetables

In water, cook lentils with boullion cubes, covered, in 2-qt saucepan, about 30 minutes, or until tender. More water can be added if necessary. Drain.

Heat oil in skillet. Saute onion until translucent.

In a food processor, process lentils, onion, and walnuts until desired consistency.

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Chill. Serve mounded on platter, garnish with parsley. Surround with bread and/or vegetables. Makes 2 cups.
