00:00:11yours is sort of peeled already you
00:00:13picked a good one you’ve still got a way
00:00:15to go so first of all the first thing to
00:00:17do
00:00:18onion on the board nice and securely and
00:00:22then fingers like a bridge and then very
00:00:26carefully put your knife through the
00:00:29bridge and straight down the middle okay
00:00:34so now that it’s in half it means you
00:00:37can get in at that outer skin and peel
00:00:40it off you will ugly you fold one that
00:00:45didn’t turn me on and away
00:00:58so cut the nose off the point of it at
00:01:02the top that’s a bit papery and old so
00:01:05we don’t want to eat that and just slow
00:01:09down because this bit I don’t want you
00:01:11to cut that off all that stop cutting
00:01:15stop stop stop this bit at the end we’re
00:01:18going to keep that on because that’s
00:01:19going to help us it’s gonna keep the
00:01:21onion together while we’re chopping but
00:01:23cuz it’s a bit hairy you just slice it
00:01:27just a little bit just to take off those
00:01:30hairy gnarly bits essentially you want
00:01:35to leave it on there so it holds it all
00:01:37together still so if you’re chopping
00:01:42your onion just in two slices you want
00:01:45it on the nice flat straight bit that
00:01:47you’ve just cut so it’s nice and firm
00:01:50against the board and you’ve got a good
00:01:51cutting surface tip of your knife on the
00:01:54board fingers out the way using your
00:02:02fingertips and then when you get halfway
00:02:07it makes it a bit easier if you just
00:02:10flip it over because it’s getting a bit
00:02:13narrow now with your fingers just flip
00:02:15it over and then start again then if
00:02:24you’ve got a bit at the end
00:02:36push that to one side and then we’ll do
00:02:42fine finely chopped onion so if you’ve
00:02:46got your half it’s still got its bottom
00:02:47it on it keeps it all together you want
00:02:52the other end towards you so turn it to
00:02:55bomb away from you like this and then
00:02:58with your knife keeping your fingers out
00:03:00of the way carefully cut into the onion
00:03:05but not all the way through so you
00:03:08leaving this
00:03:09it intact use the tip of your knife and
00:03:11just press into the onion that’s it and
00:03:15try not to go all the way to the back
00:03:16though go all the way along tip see your
00:03:35fingers okay breathe so then turn it
00:03:41back to the side again with his bum away
00:03:43from you and then you’re just going to
00:03:45slice down like we did before but use
00:03:48your fingers to grip all the strands
00:03:50that you’ve just cut and keep them
00:03:52together down again when you get towards
00:04:01the end bit you can flip it on its side
00:04:04again chop it the other way that’s it
00:04:14let’s now finally tuck that is awesome
00:04:18on sick brilliant that’s it two ways to
00:04:25chop an onion
