The Small Food Processor Capable Of Big Things!

Here’s how the nimble MultiPro Go can be the star performer at your next big bash.

Slice And Grate Direct To The Plate

Don’t be fooled by its small footprint. Thanks to the nifty 360-degree Express Serve™ attachment that utilises a spinning disc to send your prepped ingredients straight into your serving dish via a wide chute, there’s no limit to the amount of food the Kenwood MultiPro Go can handle.

“If you’re a fan of making crowd-sized salads when you entertain, the MultiPro Go will become one of your most indispensable party props,” says Tracey Ellis.

All Your Food Prep In One Place

Say goodbye to benchtop chaos and a sink crammed with dirty bowls and utensils! With a sturdy 650W motor, the MultiPro Go has the power to handle party food prep without fuss or extra clutter, while the versatile stainless steel knife blade is perfect for coarse or fine chopping – whether you’re making pizza dough, dicing veggies, or even grating a whole block of cheese in seconds. Think of all the energy you’ll have spare to be at your sparkling best!

Save On Bench Space

Not much bigger than a standard kettle (the MultiPro Go stands only 30cm tall when fully assembled), this ultra-compact Kenwood food processor is small enough to leave out on your kitchen counter and still enjoy a tidy worktop, especially with the clever EasyStore™ cable that wraps neatly around the base of the appliance. Or stash it away in a deep drawer, fully kitted out and ready to go for your next event.

How To Use The Kenwood Multipro Food Processor Attachment

The MultiPro Go’s Express Serve attachment is brilliant for slicing and grating stacks of food to get a jump start on your party prep. Simply fit it to the base unit of your appliance and position a plate or jug under the wide chute to catch all of your ingredients after pushing them through the feed hole in the lid.

3 Easy Party Food Ideas To Make With A Food Processor

Score a big win at your next event with these easy twists on party classics.

Hummus Upgrades

Who doesn’t love hummus? This popular Middle Eastern dip is a breeze to make in your food processor with a few cans of chickpeas, some tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Add your own spin by tossing in another star ingredient such as avocado, or a jalapeño pepper for extra bite. Or, for the ultimate conversation starter, throw in a few pieces of softened dark chocolate and serve with pretzels (as seen on TikTok!).

Blitzed Salad

Forget boring! Rev up a standard chopped salad by giving it an extra whirl in your food processor so that everything is diced superfine, as you would for a classic salsa. For your base, use anything fresh and crunchy (think carrots, red cabbage, cucumber, capsicum, broccoli, celery), add some seeds and dried apricots or raisins for texture, and toss the salad in apple cider vinegar. Serve it topped with crumbled feta and mint.

Spicy Bagel Chicken Strips

Dress up regular chicken tenders with a deliciously spicy coating. Pulse a torn bagel in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Transfer crumbs to a shallow bowl and add half a cup of panko crumbs, a generous amount of grated parmesan cheese, and chilli flakes to taste. Bake or air fry, and serve with your favourite dipping sauce.

  3. With the Express Serve lid and slicing disc securely attached to your MultiPro Go, slice radishes, red onion, jalapeños into a medium bowl then transfer sliced vegetables into a jar. Pour the pickling liquid into the jar so that the vegetables are completely covered. Set aside and let cool.
  4. Clean the food processor bowl and fit the knife blade. To make vegan sour cream, transfer the soaked almonds into the processor bowl and add 80ml of water, lime juice and seasoning and blend until smooth.
  5. Transfer the mixture from the bowl to a small saucepan. Add cornflour and stir until combined. Place over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and transfer to a small serving bowl. Add plant-based milk to thin mixture slightly. Refrigerate until cold.
  6. To make the walnut meat, add a quarter of the walnut halves to the food processor bowl and pulse with the knife blade until roughly chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside. Repeat with remaining walnuts
  7. Add sundried tomatoes, yeast, liquid smoke, spices and seasoning and pulse until smooth. Transfer mixture into the bowl containing the chopped walnuts and stir to combine.
  8. Add the walnut meat to a frying pan and place over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warm. Add coriander and lime juice and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
  9. To finish, fill each taco with some of the walnut meat, add some pickles, sliced avocado, black beans, capsicum, carrot, red cabbage and red chilli and drizzle with the vegan sour cream. Serve with the rest of the pickles, lime wedges and tomato salsa.

Serves 4 (makes 24 fritters)

Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp pepper                                     

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Fit the fine grating disc to your MultiPro Go and securely attach the Express Serve lid with a medium bowl underneath the chute. Grate half the zucchini into the bowl using the pusher. Repeat with the remaining half. Use your hands or a cloth to squeeze out excess water from the grated zucchini.
  3. Remove the Express Serve attachment and fine grating disc and set aside. Attach the food processor bowl and fit the knife blade. Add spring onions and fresh basil and mix on Speed 1 for 5 seconds until all sliced. Transfer to the bowl containing the zucchini and combine.
  4. Add eggs, lemon zest, flour, baking powder and seasoning to the bowl and mix until well combined.
  5. Spoon 1 tbsp balls of the fritter mixture onto the prepared baking tray, spaced apart evenly. Use the back of a spoon to flatten each fritter.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray for 10 minutes.
  7. To make the red pepper dip, clean the food processor bowl and with the knife blade, mix the red pepper, red onion, garlic, olive oil, caster sugar and seasoning at Speed 1 for 30 seconds or until well combined.
