Chopper/Mixer/Blender
Here's some more I came across. If you don't have the Magic Bullet, think these can be easily adapted to any chopper/food processor apparatus thingey.
SUDDENLY STUFFED MUSHROOMS
10 to 12 large mushrooms
1/4 cup Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup fresh spinach
1 oz. Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
1/4 of a medium-sized onion (about 1/4 cup)
splash of chicken (or vegetable) broth
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Pop the stems off of the mushrooms, making an area for the stuffing in the mushroom top.
Load all ingredients, except for the mushrooms, in the Short Cup and twist on the Cross Blade.
Pulse until the consistency is slightly textured, but not quite smooth.
Spoon the mixed ingredients into the mushroom tops and cook on a lightly greased baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
Notes: This recipe fills about 10-12 mushrooms. If you want to make more, double ingredients.
Tip: This recipe is the standard stuffed mushroom recipe. Add crab meat, crumbled bacon, lobster, whatever you like to the mix.

14 oz. can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
3 cloves garlic
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 Tbsp. tahini (sesame paste)
Add all ingredients, except paprika and olive oil, into the Tall Cup. Twist on the Cross Blade and blend until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste.

1/3 cup chicken broth
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
1/4 cup onion

Give it 5 or 6 quick Pulses. Press down on the cup and release the pressure immediately, pause and let the ingredients settle, then quickly Pulse again until you've reached a good consistency.

1-2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup roasted red peppers
1/4 cup (fat-free) chicken or vegetable broth

cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
Drain most of the liquid out of the canned beans. Load all the ingredients, in the order they are listed, into the Tall Cup. Twist on the Cross Blade and quickly Pulse until you reach the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestion: This dip is great both warm and cold. If you go for the warm version, try adding 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese to the ingredients before you blend it.

Give the dip another quick Pulse or two, then serve immediately. The warm version goes perfectly with nachos or sliced crusty Italian bread.
