Cook's Note
To store, press plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate, up to 2 days.
Yuck! Made this for passover and what a mistake. Although the flavor did taste like the chopped liver from a box, it had a really awful gummy taste that left like a film on your tongue. disappointing recipes that I will not be making again. the only pro was that the ingredeints were cheap so i didn't feel bad throwing this out and not serving it.
