using the “Pulse” button until chopped as fine as desired. 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 for at least 4-5 days, stored in an airtight bag in the refrigerator. They may be frozen for 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 only the peel with a vegetable peeler, not the white pith which is bitter tasting.

Cut the peel into lengths of 2 inches (5 cm) or less and process with 1/2 cup (125 ml) 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 minutes. Add some of the flour called for in the recipe to the fruit. Use no more than 1 cup (250 ml) of flour for each cup (250ml) of fruit.

To chop meat, poultry, fish and seafood:

The food should be very cold, but not frozen. Cut

it into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces to ensure an even chop. Using the “On” button, process no more than the recommended amount at one time (see table inside front cover). Press the “Pulse” button 3 or 4 times at a rate of 1 second on, 1 second off. If the food is not chopped fine enough, let the processor run continuously for a few seconds. Check the texture often to avoid

overprocessing. Use a spatula to scrape food from the sides of the bowl as necessary.

To purée meat, poultry , fish and seafood:

Prepare the food as described above. Press the “Pulse” button until evenly chopped, then process continuously to the desired texture. Scrape the bowl with a spatula as needed.

Leave the purée in the work bowl and add eggs, cream and seasonings as called for by the recipe. Process to combine thoroughly.

Remember, you control texture by the length of time you process. By varying the processing time, you can get a range of textures suitable for hamburgers, hash, stuffed peppers, or smooth mousses.

To chop nuts:

Chop no more than the recommended amount at one time. Press and release the “Pulse” button and check frequently to avoid nuts clumping together in a nut butter. When a recipe calls for flour or sugar, add some to the nuts before you chop, about 1/2 cup (125ml) for each cup (250ml) 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. Using the “On” button, 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 process- ing until drops of oil are visi- ble. Taste for consistency. The longer you process, the softer the butter. For chunk style, add a handful of nuts just after the ball of nut but- ter begins to smooth out. To make cashew butter, add a little bland vegetable oil. Processor nut butters contain no preservatives. Store in refrigerator to keep from separating.

To make flavoured butters, spreads and dips:

Cut room temperature butter into tablespoon (15ml) size pieces. Finely chop flavouring ingredients first, such as anchovies, cheese, herbs, etc. Be sure work bowl is clean and dry. Add small hard ingredients like garlic and hard cheese through the feed tube while machine is running. Next, add the butter and process using the “On” button, 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 the same way. They should be at room temperature and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes, or added by tablespoonfuls (15ml).

To make mayonnaise:

You can make foolproof homemade mayonnaise with your Prep 11 Plus™. The work bowl and metal blade must be clean and dry. Use the metal blade to process eggs (for safe food proce- dures, we recommend using
