Step 1:
Cut off both the root and hairy end of the onion. |
 |
 |
Step 2-3:
Stand the onion up straight on a flat end. Cut it in
half. Peel off the thick outer skin. |
 |
 |
|
Step 4:
Place the half-moon shaped flat end down on the
cutting board. Cut onion into slices perpendicular to the root end.
DO NOT cut all the way to the opposite end; keep about 1/8th to ¼
inch of onion at opposite end uncut and in tact. This holds the
onion in one piece and prevents it from falling apart. |
 |
|
Step 5-6:
Now cut the onion across the center in the other
direction parallel to the cutting board in equal length slices. |
 |
 |
|
Step 7:
Then slice along the half-moon shape across the
onion. This will produce evenly diced pieces and this technique
works nicely with white, yellow, and red onions. |
