Sorry for using the M word, but I made some chilly the other day at work (raw, vegan restaurant), and it was off the hook. I haven't quite perfected it, though my boss said it was my best recipe yet,... but here's the fun part...
All of the vegetables that I didn't put in the blender ( Onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and celery) were tenderized. I didn't have a meat mallet tenderizer so i used a metal pitcher.
What you wanna do is lay the veggies out, as flat as posable, on a cutting board. You want large flat pieces; you can chop it up all you want afterwards. If you use tomatoes, remove the seeds first.
Wrap the cutting board (over-under-over-under...) with a couple layers of plastic wrap, and pound the hell out of your veggies until you've successfully irritated everybody within earshot; your food will come out soft and juicy.
Imagine all of the fun things we could pound and smash! I'm thinking about beating the hell out of some broccoli.
