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

I’ll show you how to cut onions

The first thing you need to do

Is to ensure the stability of the cutting board

On your working surface.

So take a piece of wet kitchen paper

Put it under the board

This is much better

Take your onions

Remove the tip

Like this.

Turn it over

And rooting roots

Just as little as possible.

what do you want to do

Is to get rid of this polluted part

But the root is still present

To make the onions coherent

Hold it like this

Cut onions from the middle through their roots.

Now I leave the knife

Peel the outer layer

Of onions.

Like this.

Now no matter how many onions you have to cut it

We make all of them up to this stage

Before we take the next stage.

The next stage is,

Make sure the root end of your onion

Pointing away.

And from the other side

Take the knife

And explain it

But not whole onions

See how far the knife is going?

It will not arrive here.

I used to cut slices.

So, I do not cut off all the onions

look at this? I saw where the knife?

You can make it closer

Or spaced as you like,

Depending on the final fish you want

Like this.

look at this?

Because I did not cut it completely

It’s knit together.

These magical roots are held out

Again, where was the number of bulbs you have.

Make them like this

Before you start the next stage.

The reason of doing this

The longer they stay in this case

Knit and elegant

This will reduce the crying.

Now after this stage

Make sure that the end of the root is in this direction

And then you can slice

And you get beautiful cubes

OK.

Here’s your chopped onion.
