Chop Onions the Right way
Onions are a crucial part in cooking. Almost every food has onions in it. The flavour it adds to the dish is uncomparable. But chopping it can be a pain sometimes. But hey, lets learn how to do it right.
You need:
- A board
- A knife
Steps:
1- Cut off the base so that the onion doesn’t roll around and has a stable base. Use a sharp knife and get rid of the top.
2- Place the onion flat side down.
3- Cut the onion from the center and use bare hands to remove the peel.
4- Cut the onion horizontally (like in the picture below) and then make cuts on the top. Cut them well so that you see a cube-like shape.
Repeat it several times until you are accustomed to it as practice makes a man perfect.
Pro-tip: Use your knuckles as a way to rest against the knife so that the knife doesn’t cut your hand.
