I just got a food processor, and I made potato kugel right away, but now I'm not sure what else to do with it. Any ideas for recipes (please not too complicated!) that really need a food processor? Thanks!

Didn't your machine come with a recipe book? Most food-prep appliances do.

I didn't notice one, I'll look through the booklets again, but it would be great to get recommendations for recipes that I couldn't really do without a food processor

Mock chapped liver, perfect for this week:
7 hard boiled eggs
2 lg onion sauted in liberal amount of oil,(till it's almost dark brown is best)
Can peas, drained
can green beans, drained
3/4 cup bread crumbs
3/4 cup ground nuts
Salt & pepper to taste

I'd love it if you'll post the veg-barley soup recipe. It will be perfect for this week ( unless it's fleishig)

Think about the blades. The slicing blade makes very thin slices, thinner than cutting by hand. The blade with the holes, the julienne blade, makes potatoes into little sticks; very useful.

If you put cabbage through either of those blades, you will like the results. The cabbage goes further and is easier to eat, and deal with, cut up small. Try both, the results are different.

Cooked cranberries and sugar come out of the processor (regular all purpose S blade) as cranberry sauce. If you put scrubbed, quartered, seeded oranges (unpeeled) in too, it's nice.

If you are cooking for a lot of people, it will prep vegetables very fast for you.

The processor does two different things at the same time: cut food up, and also, mix different foods together.

"Touch beige not silver" is a good rule for safety. Unplug it before doing anything inside it. Don't pull the plug by the wire, that damages the contact. Only grasp the plastic plug itself. Store it with the bowl loose, not engaged. Store the bowl and blades open to the air, not sealed.

Unplug except when you need it to work.

You can make a stringy vegetable soup- way faster than chopping those perfect squares!

Berry sauces- for example, a bag of strawberries plus sugar to taste.

I blend sorbet. Recipe example: boil 2 cups grape juice, 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar (or to taste) and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Let cool and freeze in a flat plan. Once it's frozen, cut into chunks, blend and refreeze. It's a favorite dessert for Pesach but I make it all year round.

Sometimes I blend a roux for a potato soup- onion, carrots and celery and sauté that as a soup base.

If you don't have a hand blender, use it to blend soups or dips.

You mean a mirapex for your roux?

Lol I guess so! Although I don't add flour or anything... Maybe sometimes I'll stick in a zucchini.

Not mirapex, which sounds like either a high-tech fabric or a drug. (Oh, I see a previous poster found out it's a drug. Am I good or what?)

The word is mirepoix, pronounced Meer Pwah.
