into 1 inch cubes before blending.

Quick Food Chopper Ideas
• Breadcrumbs: For quick and easy breadcrumbs add a couple of pieces of bread,
preferably a couple of days old (but not stale), in your chopping attachment and chop
until ne.
• Sweet Biscuit Base: Add digestive biscuits, broken into halves with a little softened
butter. Mix until chopped and combined.
• Nuts: For desserts or nut roasts, add the nuts and pulse in quick bursts until crushed.
• Garlic, Herbs, Chilli and Onions: Use your chopping attachment to chop ingredients
for marinades, dressings and sauces. No more tears when chopping onions!
• Ice: Place 10 or so ice cubes into the chopping bowl with 150ml of water and pulse
until crushed. For best results, let the ice cubes defrost slightly for a few minutes.
