CKS 008| How To Mince Red Onion

Many people, including cooks that work in a professional kitchen, do not know the true technique for mincing a red onion. A lot of people first dice their onion, and then run their knife over the dice in a mincing motion until the onions are a minced, pulverized paste.

The problem is, as you continually mince the onion, the flavor escapes and the onion’s color begins to bleed. If you were to then incorporate that dice into dish with light colors, such as a scallop ceviche, the red color of the onions would bleed into the beautiful white scallop flesh and ruin the look of your dish.

To start, follow the instructions for juilienning an onion. Cut the strips as thin as possible.
