To chop nuts

Chop no more than the recommended amount at one time. (See page 26). Press and release the OFF/PULSE lever and check frequently to avoid letting powdered nuts clump together in a nut butter.

When a recipe calls for flour or sugar, add some to the nuts before you chop them— about 1/2 cup for each cup of nuts. This allows you to chop the nuts as fine as you want without turning them into a nut butter.

You can also chop nuts with a shredding disc. The optional Fine Shredding Disc is particularly good.

To make peanut butter and other nut butters

Process up to the recommended amount of nuts. (See page 26). Let the machine run continuously. After 2 or 3 minutes, the ground nuts will form a ball that will gradually smooth out. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue processing until drops of oil are visible. Taste for consistency. The longer you process, the softer the butter will be. For chunk style, add a handful of nuts just after the ball of nut butter begins to smooth out. To make cashew butter, add a little bland vegetable oil. Processor nut butters contain no preservatives. Store in the refrigerator to keep them from separating.

To make flavored butter, spreads and dips

Cut room-temperature butter into tablespoon size pieces and reserve. Process flavoring ingredients first—anchovies, cheese, herbs, etc.—chopping them fine. Be sure the work bowl is clean and dry. Then add small hard ingredients like garlic and hard cheese through the feed tube while the machine is running. Next, add the butter pieces and process until smooth. Add any liquid ingredients last, while the processor is running, and process just long enough to blend. Process ingredients for spreads and dips in the same way. All ingredients should be at room temperature and cut into 1-inch cubes, or added by tablespoonfuls.
