mixture in prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with
reserved cheese and bake for 25 minutes or until
potatoes are tender and cheese is golden. Let
stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Shredded Carrots and
Zucchini
Because shredded vegetables cook so quickly, all
their natural fl avor and crispness is preserved. If
you like, substitute an equal amount of parsnips
for zucchini.

3 medium carrots (about 2 ounces each)
2 medium zucchini (about 4 ounces each)
¼ cup unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or
¼ teaspoon, dried (optional)
Peel carrots and cut them and unpeeled zuc-
chini to fi t feed tube horizontally. Process with
shredding disc. Melt butter in large skillet. Add
shredded vegetables and sprinkle with a little salt
and pepper. Cover and cook until just tender, 2 or
3 minutes. Season with tarragon, salt and pepper
to taste.
Sliced Tomatoes on
Shredded Lettuce
You can prepare all the elements of this salad in
the work bowl.
6 servings
¼ cup parsley leaves, loosely packed
1 medium shallot, peeled
1½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
4½ tablespoons saffl ower oil
½ teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 fi rm, ripe, medium tomatoes, cored and
cut fl at at ends
1 medium head romaine lettuce
Use metal blade to chop parsley and shallot fi ne.
Add all remaining ingredients, except tomatoes
and lettuce through the feed tube opening while
the machine is running. Remove metal blade and

Slice tomatoes into dressing, using light pressure.
Cut lettuce into sections to fi t feed tube. Slice with
slicing disc, using medium pressure. Transfer con-
tents of work bowl to platter, arranging tomatoes
over lettuce in an attractive pattern.
TIP: When preparing a meal, make the dishes
with the least amount of wet ingredients fi rst. For
example, make the bread fi rst, and then you don't
need to wash the bowl before making the salad.
In many cases, wiping the bowl with a paper towel
between recipes is suffi cient.
