Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 large onions cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 pound green beans cut into 2-in. pieces -- ends trimmed
- 1 cup English peas shelled fresh or frozen peas
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1 small garlic clove peeled
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 48 Matzo crackers To serve
Instructions
- Cook onions with oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, hard-cook eggs in another saucepan for 10 minutes and continue with rest of recipe. Drain eggs, rinse under cool water, peel, and quarter.
- Fill a third saucepan two-thirds full with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and fresh peas, if using, and cook until barely tender, about 3 minutes; if using frozen peas, add during the last minute. Drain vegetables and rinse under cold water until cool.
- Whirl nuts in a food processor until ground. Add eggs, green beans, peas, and garlic and pulse until mixture is smooth. Add onions (including any oil and juices from cooking), 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and pulse just until onions are chopped. Season to taste with more salt and pepper if you like. Serve at room temperature, with matzo crackers.
- Yield: Serves 12 (makes 2 1/2 cups)
