Olive pastes are a great appetizer and are really easy to make. Use marinated olives if you are comfortable with how they have been done. Otherwise, buy plain olives and add the marinade yourself to make a good paste.
Perfect when you use the Oscar Neo DA 1000!

- 2 cups green or black pitted olives
- ½ clove of garlic
- 1 small hot chili pod
Machine set up:
- First place the Mincing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counterclockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Mincing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counterclockwise onto notch 2.
- Place a big bowl under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the paste. Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.
Preparation instructions:
- let the three ingredients run through the guide together
Preparation time: 2 min

Pineapple and raspberry are both rather sour fruits with an underlying sweetness. This drink turns out to be a pleasant surprise in taste and color!
A cleansing and alkalizing juice or ‘slush’ as I like to call it
Ingredients:
- 12 ice cubes
- ½ pineapple
- ½ cup raspberries
Machine set up:
- First place the Mincing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Don’t attach any Nozzle onto the drum cap.
- Place a bowl under the Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the ice powder.
- Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.
- Then place the Juicing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 2.
- You are now ready to make the juice needed.
Preparation instructions:
- Run the ice cubes through the Mincing Function
- Juice the pineapple and the raspberries with the Juicing Strainer
- Fill the ‘ice snow’ into 2 glasses
- Pour the juice on top
- Serve immediately
Preparation time: 8 min
Yields: 2 glasses
Preparation hints:
Peal the pineapple but don’t remove the hard middle bit as it can be easily juiced. When juicing, alternate between the two fruits and keep some pineapple to juice last to expel all the raspberries. Use a sieve to strain the juice. For color variation, make the pineapple juice and pour it into the glass and then pour the red raspberry juice on top. It looks incredible.
