Food Processor Ideas??

[Blondee]

Hello everyone

I just recently bought a little Kenwood food processor because I've wanted one for ages and now... I cant think of anything to do with it!! I'd like to make some nice dips or soups or puddings with it but cant think of anything at the mo so could you please leave your ideas and or recipes on here please and maybe we could all have a go and feedback??

Thanks in advance xx

I love my food processor and use it for loads of things (not cake making so much now though LOL). One of my favourites is to put the grating discs on and shred vegetables for salads and coleslaws - I would never bother if I had to do it all by hand.

grated raw carrot and raw turnip - delicious!

Food processor is a must-have in each household. I usually use it when i am making my home-made salsa. Cos i'm tired of chopping fine bits for tomato and onions.

Great thread-I've got a new one too!! Again desperate for it now can't think what to do!! Like the idea of coleslaw but what do you use as a dressing?!? Xx

Hexb breadcrumbs for coating chicken KFC SW stylee! And raw grated beetroot is lovely too.

 

[desperate2Bslim]

For dressing you may want to try this:

Mayonnaise
Milk
Cloves of garlic (this one you have to use the food processor)
Cheese

Best for lettuce and tomato.

I love it with fat free natural yoghurt, mint and chilli flakes!!!

homemade burgers! if you blitz the mince, onion, garlic (whatever you put in them) them they're much smoother and much nicer in my opinion

Tonnes of soups

Put all the ingredients into the food processor and blend until well mixed and bound together

Spray a baking tray with frylite so they don't stick
