Ingredients

5 large eggs

1/4 pound string beans, ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)

3/4 cup toasted walnuts

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Bread or crackers, for serving

Preparation

Step 1
Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Place the eggs in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Place over high heat; bring to a boil. Turn off heat; cover. Let stand for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to the ice-water bath to stop cooking. When the eggs are cool, peel them under cold running water, cut into quarters, and set aside. Let the cooking water return to a boil; blanch the string beans for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the ice-water bath to stop the cooking.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion; cook until caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Combine the eggs, beans, walnuts, soy sauce, mayonnaise, and oil in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed. Stir in the sautéed onion and chives; season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature with bread or crackers.
