- The red onion, chosen because its especially pungent and tangy. My chopping process on all onions now is to slice off both end, make a longitudinal incision to ease removal of the dry skin, then latitudinal slices off the ends (to protect the fingers), cut each slice in half, and then cut at radial angles, adjusting for differences in the layers with each cut. There are dudes on cooking shows who delight in dicing quickly by a process, after which the onion falls into chunks and the camera pans away, but you never know what the onion looks like on the inside until you slice it. This one, for example is bifurcated, and the process will result in a mess. |
