So this is the half of the onion that I used before, and I'm just going to peel it. I'm going to show you how to dice it. We're going to dice it and then saute. So what it is, look for the root. This is the root section over here. And we're going to make quarter-inch slices as close as we can to the root about a half-inch away like so.
