Magimix's powerful food processors can effortlessly help you prepare flavourful marinades and zesty dressings, ensuring your seafood dishes are both delicious and hassle-free.

BBQ Bonanza:

Christmas in Australia wouldn't be complete without a barbecue. Elevate your grill game by marinating lamb chops in a rosemary and garlic rub or opting for succulent kangaroo skewers. Use Magimix appliances to whip up a quick chimichurri sauce or a refreshing mango salsa, adding the perfect touch to your BBQ spread.

Mango Salsa:

• 115 g bunch of garlic chives

• 1 long red chilli, diced

• 1 long green chilli, diced

• 1 tsp sesame seeds

• 1 tbsp olive oil

Pulse the dry ingredients (except mango) in the Magimix food processor, then add mango, olive oil and salt to taste. Mix well. 

Alternatively, you can use the Magimix Blender Power with the Baby Cup attachment.
