Chicken Liver Paté

12 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 lb. chicken livers
1-1/2 tsp. seasoned salt

1 tsp. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 hard-cooked eggs, quartered
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Saute onion in 8 tbsps. of butter, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and chicken livers and cook just until liver is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add remaining butter, seasoned salt, lemon juice, pepper and cayenne, stir until butter melts. Divide mixture into four parts. In electric blender, at high speed, blend the mixture one part at a time, adding 2 of the egg quarters to each part. Empty into a bowl as each part is blended. Stir nuts into entire mixture and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Shape into ball on sheet of waxed paper or foil. Wrap well and refrigerate overnight. Serve with crackers. Yield: 2-1/2 cups, or enough for about 50 crackers.

Eggplant and Tomato Casserole

1/4 cup salad oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced

1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
1 cup each, grated
Parmesan and shredded
Mozzarella cheese
2 eggs, well-beaten
1 lb. can pear-shaped
tomatoes

Use large fry pan, heat oil; add onions, mushrooms and green pepper. Sauté over medium heat until vegetables are limp, 5 minutes. Stir in eggplant, tomatoes, salt and parsley. Cover and simmer slowly until eggplant is tender (25 minutes), stirring often. Uncover and increase heat, if needed, to reduce liquid. Meanwhile combine Parmesan and Mozzarella with eggs; spoon half eggplant mixture into 2-1/2 quart casserole and top with half the cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese. Bake uncovered in 375° oven for 25 minutes. If prepared ahead and cold, bake 45 minutes.

2/3 cup grated American

1 tbsp. finely chopped
parsley
1/2 cup buttered bread
