Ingredient:
Base Option A (Herbed Hummus):
1 can chickpeas, drained
2 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons olive oil
Handful of fresh parsley
Salt
Base Option B (Whipped Feta):
200g feta cheese
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Black pepper
Topping Options:
1 shallot (minced and fried until crispy)
Handful of mixed fresh herbs (e.g., dill, mint)
¼ cup nuts (e.g., walnuts, pistachios)
Roasted bell pepper strips
Olives
Instructions:
1. Make a smooth base:
For herbed hummus example: Place drained chickpeas, garlic, and parsley (roughly chopped) in the Geedel vegetable chopper with the chopping blade and pulse until coarsely chopped. Switch to the mixing paddle, add tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt, and turn the handle continuously until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
2. Prepare various toppings:
Crispy shallots: Chop shallots into chunks, mince with the chopping blade, then fry in oil until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Herbs and nuts: Place herbs and nuts separately in the container and pulse quickly with the chopping blade until finely chopped.
Others: Roasted bell peppers can be torn by hand; olives can be simply sliced.
3. Artistic assembly:
Use the back of a spoon to spread your prepared base onto a plate or wooden board, creating swirls or patterns. Freely sprinkle or arrange all your prepared toppings over the base.
4. Share your creation:
Serve with bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks, and invite friends and family to enjoy your personalized creation together.
Summary:
This custom platter is the ultimate expression of culinary fun. With its core functions of chopping, mixing, and spinning, the Geedel food chopper can handle almost every step—from emulsifying the base to prepping the toppings—giving you unlimited creative freedom and making every gathering a unique and delicious focal point.
