Ingredients |
| Procedure |
|
|
|
Onions, Vegetables, Fruits |
| Cut ingredients into approximately 2.5cm cubes. |
and Cooked Meats |
| Place in processing bowl, up to 750g at a time. |
|
| Process, using the PULSE switch until the ingredients |
|
| are chopped as desired. Remove lid and scrape |
|
| the sides down with the spatula between pulses to |
|
| ensure more even chopping. |
|
|
|
Raw Meats (Boneless) |
| Trim the meat of fat and gristle, remove any bones. |
|
| Cut into 2.5cm cubes. Process up to 750g at a time |
|
| on MED or MAX speed, scraping down the sides of |
|
| the bowl, until the meat is coarse or fine as desired. |
|
|
|
Herbs |
| Make sure the herbs are as dry as possible. Place |
|
| in the processing bowl and process on MED or |
|
| MAX speed, until finely chopped. Scrape down the |
|
| sides of the bowl at least once during processing. |
|
| Up to 4 cups of firmly packed herbs can be |
|
| processed at a time. |

Breadcrumbs or |
| Quarter the slices of bread and break up the |

|
| process using MED speed. Process up to 1½ loaves |
|
| of bread, crusts removed, or 1 loaf with crusts, at a |
