3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
20 thin wheat crackers
1/2 cup walnuts
1 egg
1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a medium skillet over low heat and add chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and caramelized. Add chopped garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside to cool.
In an electric food processor fitted with a steel blade, process wheat crackers and walnuts until finely chopped. Add hard-boiled egg and process until it is incorporated. Add drained peas, sauteed onions and garlic and seasoning salt. Process again until a rough paste is achieved. Stop processor and taste pate. Correct the seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of oil or water and process again. Scrape pate into a plastic container, cover tightly and refrigerate for a few hours to allow flavors to blend. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
