While I can't provide you with photos of how I grind the chicken meat I use for my
meatballs,
lumpia, and chicken longganisa, I'm pretty sure my directions are very simple and anyone with a blender should have known this by now. It's hard to shoot with a camera all by yourself when your hands are not for camera handling. =)
First, I take a kilo of chicken breast fillets, wash them, discard the skins and fats (they stuck up around the blades and make the whole process a lot slower. After washing, I dice them up into small cubes. Chicken thigh fillets can also be used if you prefer the softer texture. Then I place them in the blender and break an egg directly on the meat if the recipe calls for it so I won't have to clean up another bowl that I would otherwise use for the raw egg.
Chicken Lumpia RecipeI pulse them at short intervals of two to three seconds, mix them up with a spoon (the ground chicken meat at the bottom can be very sticky and won't mix with the remaining whole cubes above them).I repeat that until I get the consistency of the ground chicken meat that I want, preferably no whole cubes of chicken left.Use as needed for the recipe.
