"Hi, this is Dave for Expert Village. Today we are going to make white bean soup with hamhocks and cornbread. Not necessarily required for this recipe but something that I like to add for a little flavor is to finely chop onions. So here is how we are going to that you go ahead and leave the root attached here, it will hold the onion together go ahead and make slices this direction. You want this finely minced we are going to go ahead and put this in and it's going to it's take a little bit longer when you do the onion this way but the flavor is going to be good. Go ahead and get your onion prepared I just use about a half of yellow onion or even a white onion will be fine. I'll probably stay away from the sweet onions you just want to have this real savory. Just cut that up real fine just like that, that will be actually enough right there and we are going to get our pot pull that right back around the burner. You can see it's already getting nice and not so much thick but it has a little bit more body to it and just go ahead and put your onions in."

on 9/26/2008 Excellent instructional style but may I suggest that the horizontal cuts be made prior to the vertical, this is safer and faster. Also perhaps you could point out to home users that the knife should be a vegetable knife rather than a chef's knife. I realise that you, like myself, are a chef and therefore tend to do everything with a chef's knife, but the average home user likely does not have the control with one to avoid cutting themselves. Otherwise excellent. Try to remember that your own skill does not necessarily apply to other people though.
