'Liverwurst' [Vegan]

Dairy Free

I confess that I really liked liverwurst in my pre-vegan days. Judging by the recipes and information online, I was not alone. I finally devised a vegan recipe very close in taste and texture, not only in my opinion but also of some real German testers. What's more, it's easy... Read More

How to Prepare ‘Liverwurst’ [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil two nonstick 5 3/4 x 3 x 2 1/8-inch fruitcake/mini loaf pans or an 8-inch round cake pan liberally with the dark sesame oil. Line the bottoms with baking parchment cut to fit. Oil the parchment, too.
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender (preferably) or food processor and blend until very smooth.
Divide the mixture between the two prepared nonstick fruitcake/mini loaf pans or the round cake pan. Smooth the tops evenly.
Cover each pan with foil (oiled on the side that will touch the liverwurst mixture). Place the pans inside of an 8 x 12-inch shallow baking pan with about 1 inch of hot water in the bottom.
Bake for 1 hour.
Cool the liverwurst in the pans on a cooling rack until firmly set. Carefully loosen around the sides of the pans with a table knife and invert them onto a platter. Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week.
If you would like to freeze the liverwurst, cut the cooled loaf/loaves into whatever sizes are useful for you, wrap well with foil, then place in a zipper-lock bag, seal and freeze for up to three months.

Notes

You will need two nonstick 5 3/4 x 3 x 21/8-inch fruitcake/mini loaf pans for this recipe. Alternatively, you can use a 8-inch round cake pan for the whole recipe.
