broth to blender and place cooked vegetables on top. Place lid on
with lid cap REMOVED and select "SOUP" mode. The blades will start
spinning, increasing in speed until it reaches its maximum velocity. The
friction of the blades will produce heat, which will in turn heat up the
soup. Allow blender to blend until steam begins to issue from the top of
the lid, which should take around 5 minutes of blending. If necessary,
add more broth to thin out the soup, ¼ cup at a time, or use tamper to
push food down onto the blades. The soup should be ready once it
reaches about 160 °F. Add parsley and blend on low for 15 seconds, for
an added tang. Serve hot.
Home-made Almond Butter
Ingredients:
10 oz Raw or Roasted almonds
o
Salt, to taste
o
Optional flavorings (see below)
o
Place the almonds in your Kalorik blender. Turn speed on low and
blend. For crunchy almond butter, reserve some of the almond bits
early on, which you will incorporate later. The almonds will first turn into
a fine powder and gradually start to turn into a thicker paste. If the
blender no longer seems to be reaching the almonds or is spinning
without blending, turn it off and gently scrape the sides using a spatula
or the provided tamper to push down the almond mixture onto the
blades. This is not bringing them towards the center but rather within
reach of the blades on the side. You may need to do this several times
until desired consistency is reached. Fret not! Almond butter takes time,
but you will begin to notice that slowly, as the paste thins out, the
almond butter will seem to "churn" at a faster rate around the blades,
an indication that it is almost ready. At this point, you can add salt, ¼
tsp at a time, to your liking and any other add ins you may like. Once
the salt has been blended in, if you reserved some almond "crunch",
this is the time to add them in, being careful not to process too much or
using a wooden spoon or spatula to incorporate the almond bits.
OPTIONAL: You can spice up your almond butter by adding things like
honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, cocoa powder, or any spice that
inspires you. Feel free to also play around with peanuts, sunflower
seeds, or any type of nut. The possibilities are endless!
