A few days ago I saw an intriguing recipe that required a large food processor. I have a smaller one that works really well for chopping up onions, garlic, and peppers for stuff but it wasn’t big enough for the recipe and it doesn’t have the multiple blades, so I sent George a link for a food processor saying that I’d like to get it at some point. I also have some grand plans to chop up a metric ton of vegetables for stir-frying.
And so today I was pleasantly surprised to get to come home to that very food processor!
It’s a shame that it’s not quite the weekend yet because I won’t have time to play with it until then but it is only a little longer. Then I can try out the recipe I saw (basically it’s a raw food recipe that uses cauliflower to imitate mashed potatoes), and I also want to try out a recipe in the manual for potatoes au gratin. I can make pizza dough in there too with the dough blade and that would be fun to try.
I’ve got a few ideas already but what’s your favorite thing to do and make with a food processor? Please share!
I love making hummus!!!
Hi! If I’m making meat sauce (like for lasagne) I put an onion, carrot and stick or two of celery in there and chop. It makes a great base. I also make bread crumbs with day old bread.
I miss having one! I wore out two since I got married. 🙂
My standard use of my food processor is guacamole which I make at least every 2 weeks, grated blocks of cheese(very economic!), grating carrots, zucchini etc.., and sometimes large batches of chopped or thinly sliced onion is I’m making a curry.
Honestly for pizza dough I do it by hand, so easy. I have a kitchen Aid stand mixer that I sadly never use 🙁 just too big to leave out and too heavy to haul around.
I destroyed my Cuisinart making hummus. Sad day. I should have done half the recipe at a time.
