Apologies as we know many of you are quite confident in your onion chopping skills! We had a request for an onion chopping tutorial and hope that this is helpful to some. If you watch a good deal of cooking shows on Tv, you know that there are several different types of techniques when it comes to slicing onion. And the tough part is, the chefs slice so quickly that observation is often futile. In our culinary tip video today, Chef Marc Bauer from the French Culinary institute demonstrates his technique for finely dicing an onion shallots, or garlic , in a nice semi slow motion.
