VEGAN FOIE DE VEAU

...Since I wasn't all that happy with the chops that I used for the previous two Foie de Veau recipes- I decided to try and make my own Foie - mind you - I have absolutely no idea what liver actually tastes like - but, I started out with Tracy's Compassionate Breast recipe...

...instead of the liquid in her recipe I used red wine - and I added black walnuts and black olives - for the unctious/rich/oily/iron-y taste/texture that I've read about - I've come to the conclusion that it's awfully hard to describe what something tastes like...

...mix the wet ingredients with the dry...

...cover and let sit for an hour...

...pat into liver shaped patties - wrap in foil...

...and bake in a 250⁰ oven for about 1 1/2 hours...the preliminary tasting was really good - very rich and chewy...
