Basil Green Bean Pate

1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
3 hard-boiled eggs
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon lemon rind
mayonnaise to taste
seasoned salt and pepper to taste

Cook beans until just tender by boiling or steaming them. In a skillet, heat oil, add onion and saute until softened. Cool.

In a food processor or with a food chopper, process or grind green beans, onions, eggs, basil and lemon rind until roughly pureed.

Remove to a bowl and mix in just enough mayonnaise to hold mixture together. Stir in seasoned salt and pepper to taste. Chill.
Serves 8.
