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 (5cm) or less and process with ½ 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 of fruit.

To chop meat, poultry and seafood

The food should be very cold, but not frozen. Cut it into 1-inch (2.5cm) 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 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 process- ing time, you can get a range of textures suit- able 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 ½ 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 or slicing disc. The optional fine shredding disc is particularly good.

To make peanut butter and other nut but- ters

Process up to the recommended amount of nuts. Using the ON button, let the machine run continuously.

After 1½ to 2 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. For chunk style, add a handful of nuts just after the ball of nut butter begins to smooth out. To make cashew but- ter, add a little bland vegetable oil. Processor nut butters contain no preservatives. Store in refrigerator to keep from separating.

To make flavored butters, spreads and dips

Cut room temperature butter into tablespoon size pieces. Finely chop flavoring 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 (2.5cm) cubes, or added by tablespoonfuls.

To make mayonnaise

You can make foolproof homemade mayon- naise with your Premier Series 9-Cup Food Processor. The work bowl and metal blade must be clean and dry.

Foods prepared with raw eggs may con- tain salmonella or other potentially harm- ful bacteria. Because egg yolks are a fine growth medium for bacteria, we recommend that you cook them for use in mayonnaise, Hollandaise sauce, Caesar salad dressing, chilled soufflés, chilled chiffons, mousses and other recipes calling for raw egg yolks. For mayonnaise, we recommend using either the “cooked egg” mayonnaise on page 31, or using the following method with pasteurized liquid eggs.
