agree  Sheila Wilson: Top speed, but for a short time only - this is not "keep the motor running until it's a pulp".

neutral  Tony M: Not really: for this sort of recipe, you want to give it a quick whizz to break it down, but you want to avoid leaving it too long so it becomes some ghastly sort of slurry.

hacher [au mixer]


Explanation:
'To blitz' signifie généralement juste 'utiliser le mixer'. De toute façon, un mixer tourne de vite à très vite, il n'y a pas d'usage à vitesse lente.

En FR il y aura différents mots pour traduire, selon l'utilisation exacte... ici, c'est hacher : 'hachez au mixer le poisson et les crevettes' ou 'hachez le poisson et les crevettes dans un mixer'

Le deuxième 'blitz' doit se traduire différemment, quelque chose comme 'mixez jusqu'à obtenir une pâte homogène'
