To chop hard food like garlic, hard cheese

Remove the small pusher, press the ON lever and drop the food through the small feed tube while the machine is running.

Small foods like garlic can be dropped in whole. Large foods like hard cheese should be cut into 1-inch pieces. This method of processing minces garlic, shal lots and onions. Hard cheese and coconut will have the same tex ture as if they had been hand grated.

IMPORTANT: Never try to process cheese that is too hard to cut with a knife. You may dam age the blade or the machine.

To chop parsley and other Iresh herbs

The herbs, the work bowl and the metal blade must all be thorough ly clean and dry. Remove stems from herbs. Add leaves to bowl and process until they are chopped as fine as you want. The more herbs you chop at a time, the finer chop you can obtain.

They may be frozen for months, stored in an airtight container or bag.

For citrus, remove the peel with a vegetable peeler, leaving on the white pith, which is bitter tasting. Cut the peel into lengths of 2 inches or less and process with 1/2 cup 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 min utes. Add to it some of the flour called for in the recipe. Use no more than 1 cup of flour for each cup of fruit.
