Dicing Eggplant for Cajun Ratatouille

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is David for Expert Village and today we are making Cajun ratatouille. For the quantities that I gave you earlier that is good for 6 to 8 people. But we are actually going to do about 1/2 of that today just to show you some good techniques. The first thing we are going to do is dice up the egg plant. So I like to just cut this top part off and put that aside and then I like to split it lengthwise. This would give you a flat surface that I have talked about before. Just run your knife right down through the middle like that. You see all these small seeds that is going to be fine to just leave those in. Again I'm going to do half, kind of half. So you want to leave skin on for this case and just go ahead and we want about uniform dice. So I go ahead and cut these like this. We want about 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch cubes to 1 inch cubes. So now again we get this and put split this down just like and you can run your knife through it. They are pretty uniform cubes."
