]]> There are many ways to slice or chop up a bell pepper, but this method will give you nice, neat slices or lovely little square cubes.  For a dish where prettiness and presentation count, I’d use the neat slices of pepper, and save the ‘less neat’ pieces to throw into an omelet or salad later.

Required: 1 Bell Pepper, 1 Knife Slice off the top of the pepper Use your fingers to reach in and remove the seeds Slice off the bottom of the pepper. Slice the pepper in half, then into strips (which can then optionally be diced) Chop up the bottom and top into the less neat pieces.

]]> This is one of those technique that seams obvious in retrospect, but never occurred to me until someone showed me. So I figured there might be some others out there who could benefit from it!

This is a great technique to use to get nice, even squares of chopped onion. See the descriptions below each picture for instructions.

Slice the top end off of your onion. Peel off the papery outsides. Leave the bottom intact. Slice the onion in half, slicing through the bottom. Start with your first half. Without slicing through the bottom, slice the onion as shown. Now, starting furthest from the bottom, slice in the other direction. Discard the bottom, and revel in all the pretty little cubes. Repeat with other half.
