How To – chop an onion, with Jamie Oliver’s mate Pete


00:00:00I’ll show you how to cut onions

00:00:03The first thing you need to do

00:00:04It is to ensure the stability of the cutting board

00:00:07On the surface of your work.

00:00:09So take a piece of wet kitchen paper

00:00:14Placed under the board

00:00:16This is much better

00:00:19Take your onions

00:00:22Remove the party

00:00:25Like this.

00:00:27Turn it over

00:00:29And remove the roots

00:00:32Just as little as possible.

00:00:34what do you want to do

00:00:36It is to get rid of this contaminated part

00:00:39But the primary root still exists

00:00:41To make the onion cohesive

00:00:44So hold it

00:00:47Cut the onion in half through the root.

00:00:53Now I leave the knife

00:00:57Peel the outer layer

00:01:00Of onions.

00:01:05Like this.

00:01:06Now no matter how many onions you have to cut

00:01:09Make each of them up to this stage

00:01:10Before we next phase.

00:01:13The next stage is,

00:01:14Make sure the root end of your onions

00:01:17Refers away.

00:01:19The other party

00:01:21Take the knife

00:01:23And explained

00:01:24But not the whole bulb

00:01:26See the extent to which the knife is going?

00:01:28It will not arrive here.

00:01:29I used to cut slices.

00:01:34Therefore, I do not cut each bulb

00:01:36look at this? I saw where the knife?

00:01:42You can make them closer

00:01:44Or far apart as you want,

00:01:45Depending on the final fish you want

00:01:47Like this.

00:01:48look at this?

00:01:49Because I did not fully Cut it down

00:01:50They knit together.

00:01:52This magical roots by holding

00:01:55Again, where the number of bulbs you have.

00:01:58Make them like so

00:02:02Before you start the next phase.

00:02:05The reason of doing this

00:02:06The longer you stay on this case

00:02:08Coherent and elegant

00:02:10This will reduce crying.

00:02:12Now after this stage

00:02:14Make sure that the root end in this direction

00:02:17And then you can dissected

00:02:20And you get beautiful cubes

00:02:28OK.

00:02:29He is now your chopped onions.
