Vegan Mock Chopped Liver

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large or 2 medium onions, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
6 to 8 ounces mushrooms, white or cremini (aka baby bella) mushrooms
3/4 cup toasted cashews
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

FOR GARNISH

Paprika
Finely minced fresh parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Sauté the onions slowly over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until lightly browned.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms, then clean and chop. Add to the skillet, cover, and cook briefly with the onions until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Combine the onion and mushroom mixture (including any liquid that may have formed) to a food processor along with the cashews and lemon juice. Process until smoothly pureed, scraping down the sides as needed. Season with salt and pepper and additional lemon juice if desired, and pulse on and off to work into the mixture.
Transfer to a serving bowl, and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. If making ahead of time, cover and store in the refrigerator until needed, then bring to room temperature before serving.
Just before serving, sprinkle the top with paprika and parsley. Serve with matzo, matzo crackers
