Um, reread the recipe, it says *diced* onion, and food processors cannot dice

Then it would smoosh all veggies rather than slicing them cleanly, which is why
typical home food processors are worth shit. There is nothing whatsoever a
home food processor can do better or faster then can be done with a chefs
knife, a blender, and the best kitchen tool of all, the human hand... folks who
rely on food proccesors are no more a cook than a kazoo player is a muscian.
