Garlic, chili and ginger

For garlic, peel cloves and leave whole. For chili, leave whole (remove seeds for milder chili). For ginger, peel and cut into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Process until chopped to desired consistency. Store chopped garlic or chili mixed with a little vegetable oil in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week. Mix ginger with a little Sherry. If adding garlic, chili or ginger to other ingredients, drop whole pieces down the small feed chute while the motor is running.

Nuts

Process no more than 6 cups shelled nuts at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size.

Herbs

Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove any coarse stems. Process no more than 2 bunches (approx. 4 cups) at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

Dried fruit

As dried fruit can be sticky, place in freezer for about 10 minutes (this prevents the fruit sticking to the blades). Process no more than 4 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

NOTE

If chopping fruit to add to cake batter, process the fruit before making the batter, adding a little flour from recipe quantity to prevent fruit from sticking to the S Bladeprocessing blade.
