My favourite way to cut an onion
I like this the most because i think diced onion brings out the best flavour, also it cooks the fastest as the onion is cut into smaller pieces.
Start by taking half of a peeled onion and lay it flat side down on a chopping board.
If you look at the onion you should see faint lines from the root to the top of the onion, use these as a rough guide to slide along the onion, stay as close to the root as you can.
Turn the onion 90° and proceed to cut as you would if you were slicing it lengthways.
Et voila! The result is a pile of lovely diced onion.
Finely diced onion
This is pretty much the same process as above, but before dicing make 2 incisions into the onion sideways (keep the onion on the chopping board, i only picked it up to demonstrate)
