Please let me save you from chasing onion around a chopping board and ending up with an uneven dice. I learned this method for dicing an onion many, many years ago from @rachaelray and it’s like second nature now. One of the things I heard Rachael say more recently is that she actually quit cutting the planks at the beginning because the onion is naturally layered. But I still like to do it because they come out perfectly diced. I hope you’ll give this a try! And keep practicing! - Rachel T 💕
