2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, add the onion, and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. -

While the onion is cooking, prepare the broccoli. Install the chopping blade in the XL Precision Processor® Bowl, then add the broccoli florets to
the bowl. Install the lid, then select CHOP. When the program has completed, run the CHOP program again, then transfer chopped broccoli
to a large bowl. -

Wipe the bowl clean. Place the reversible shredding disc, fine side up, on the disc spindle. If your unit comes with the reversible slicing/shredding disc, place the disc shredding side up. Select DISC, then place the first block of cheese in the medium feed chute. Use the pusher to push the
