Black & Decker FP2500SC Arugula Pesto, Pastry Crust, Troubleshooting, Problem, Possible Cause

ARUGULA PESTO

2 cups packed fresh arugula leaves

1 cup packed basil leaves

½cup packed Italian parsley leaves

½cup grated Parmesan cheese

½cup pine nuts (pignoli)

2 large cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated lemon peel ¾ cup olive oil

Place all ingredients, except oil in workbowl Black & Decker® Food Processor fitted with cutting blade. Cover and process on HIGH until smooth, about 1 minute. Stop occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl. Remove pusher from feed chute and drizzle oil in an even stream into processor. Continue to process until mixture is smooth.

Makes about 1½ cups.

Note: If desired, substitute 2 cups packed baby spinach leaves for arugula.

PASTRY CRUST

1 cup unsifted all-purpose flour ½ tsp. salt

¼ cup shortening

2 tbsp. cold butter or margarine, cut into small pieces 2 to 4 tbsp. ice water

Position metal blade in workbowl of Black & Decker® Food Processor. Add flour, salt, shortening and butter. PULSE 3 or 4 times, for about 3 to 4 seconds each, until mixture is crumbly.

With processor running, drizzle in just enough water through the small feed chute until mixture pulls away from sides of bowl and forms a loose ball.

Remove workbowl from processor; remove blade. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Gently shape dough into ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. (If storing longer, allow dough to rest on work surface for 15 minutes before rolling out.) Roll out to a circle 2 inches larger than the inverted pie plate to be used.

Transfer pastry to pie plate. To bake empty, pierce generously with fork. Bake at 425˚F (218˚C) until golden, about 12 minutes.

Makes one, 9-inch (23 cm) pie crust.
