To chop hard food like garlic, hard cheese

Small foods like garlic can be dropped in whole. Larger foods like hard cheese should be cut into 1-inch pieces. Remove the small pusher, press the ON lever and drop the food through the small feed tube while the machine is running.

This method of processing minces garlic, shallots and onions. Hard cheese and coconut will have the same texture as if they had been hand grated.

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

To chop parsley and other fresh 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. If completely dry when chopped, parsley and other herbs will keep for at least 10 days, stored in an airtight bag in the refrigerator. They may be frozen for months, stored in an airtight container or bag.

To chop peel from citrus fruit (zest) or to chop sticky fruit like dates or raisins

For citrus, remove only the peel (zest) with a vegetable peeler. Do not remove 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 from the recipe 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 to it some of the flour called for in the recipe. Use no more than 1 cup of flour for each cup of fruit.
