Learn how to chop an onion into nice even pieces

In this weeks kitchen skills video, I will show you how to chop an onion into small even pieces. This is a very valuable skill to have!

You will need an onion, a chopping board and a sharp knife.

Top tip: Always chop with the flat surface of the food! I love when people attend my live cookery demos and tell me how they learned this skill from me and use it all the time.

I can't guarantee that you won't cry but keeping the root intact helps reduce this.
