To chop hard food like garlic,
hard cheese
Remove the small pusher, press
the ON lever and drop the food
through the small feed tube while
the machine is running.
Small foods like garlic can be
dropped in whoie. Large foods
like hard cheese should be cut
into 1-inch pieces. This method
of processing minces garlic, shal­
lots and onions. Hard cheese and
coconut will have the same tex­
ture as if they had been hand
grated.
IMPORTANT; Never try to
process cheese that is too hard to
cut with a knife. You may dam­
age the blade or the machine.
To chop parsley and other fresh
herbs
The herbs, the work bowl and the
metal blade must all be thorough­
ly clean and dry. Remove stems
from herbs. Add leaves to bowl
and process until they are
chopped as fine as you want.
The more herbs you chop at a
time, the finer chop you can
obtain. If completely dry when
chopped, parsley and other herbs
will keep tor at least 10 days,
slored in an airtight bag in the
refrigerator. They may be frozen
tor months, stored in an airtight
container or bag.
To chop peel from citrus fruit or
to chop sticky fruit like dates or
raisins
For citrus, remove the peel with a
vegetable peeler, leaving on the
white pith, which is bitter tasting.
Cut the peel into lengths of 2
inches or less and process with
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
until finely chopped. This may
take 2 minutes or longer.
For sticky fruit like dates, raisins,
prunes and candied fruit, first
freeze the fruit for about 10 min­
utes. Add to it some of the flour
called for in the recipe. Use no
more than 1 cup of flour for each
cup of fruit.
