"This is Dave for Expert Village. Today we’re going to make Shrimp and Scallop Fettucini with a side of garlic bread. Okay, now it’s time to finely dice this carrot just like this. What you want to try to do is make this carrot flat so it doesn’t go all over the board. So I like to just go ahead and cut it lengthwise, it’s got a nice crunch to it, go along that way, so now you’ve got a nice flat piece like this, two pieces. And then you can cut it this way, lengthwise again; since we want it finely diced we want to do a couple more cuts lengthwise too, just like this. So you’ve got nice little strips, well this one still a quarter around but it’s flat on the bottom and this I just like to go across. "
