Hamilton Beach Food Processor Parts

Learning to cook can be as intimidating as trying to learn another language. Even for seasoned veterans in the kitchen, do more complicated lists of ingredients and lengthy series of instructions can be confusing.

The great thing about most recipes in a food processor is that they are usually just a few easy steps. Mostly everything you need to do is throw everything out there and mix it up!

If you have a food processor or consider buying one, here are some recipes for you to try. Below each are suggestions for food processors of quality if you do not already have your own.

Hummus House

Store-bought hummus is delicious, but it can also be expensive. This simple recipe is versatile and cost effective.

• January 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp ½ tablespoons sesame tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh or bottled)

It's just the basics, but you should experiment with other additions as well. I left out the salt and pepper hummus low in sodium, but go ahead and season to taste if you're feeling adventurous. Do not be afraid to throw a little crushed garlic in there either. You could even roast a red pepper on the stove, then mix with the beans. Be creative!

While the hummus is traditionally made with chick peas, you can also use a large Northern beans for even smoother texture. If you decide do like hummus, you must also think about buying your beans. It takes a little longer to re-hydrate, but you end up saving a lot of money and you've really cut down on sodium. Remember that if you buy dry beans chick peas you may need to actually cook, and not just let them sit in water.

The Cuisinart DLC-2ABCFR Mini-Prep Plus Processor is a robot with three cups is the perfect size for this small batch of hummus. It has two speeds which is perfect for starting slow and then accelerated as the beans begin to blend with other ingredients.

Guacamole

Guacamole can be done with bare hands or using a mortar and pestle, but for extra creamy guacamole a food processor is the only way to go.

• 2 ripe avocados
• ½ a red onion
• 1 jalapeno pepper (remove seeds and stem)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
• ½ ripe tomato with seeds and pulp removed
• a little salt and pepper

One important thing to remember is that your guacamole is only as good as your lawyers. They should be tender but not too soft. Guacamole also begin to turn from green to brown quite quickly. So enjoy with tortilla chips or in a burrito, so it is fresh.

The Hamilton Beach 70450 6 cups Food Processor Robot is a Nice medium that can easily handle this recipe. Throw all ingredients except avocado in the first hash, then melt into the lawyer himself at the end. This should give you some pieces of avocado decent companies out there to chew.

Pesto

fresh pesto is at its best when the basil is picked straight from the garden. Store-bought is fine but consider buying basil plants online instead of leaves packed for a fresher taste.

• 2 cups fresh basil leaves
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup virgin olive oil
• 1 / 3 cup pine nuts
• 3 cloves garlic
• a little salt and pepper

There are few substitutions you can make this recipe to your tastes. The area can be replaced by Romano for a bolder flavor and you can use walnuts instead of pine nuts. It's nice when mixed with the cooked pasta. You can also mix in.
