Finely Chopping Onions For Stuffed Baked Cucumbers

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Rich Buccola here in New York City. And today, on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make stuffed cucumbers. All right, so we have our big pieces of onion here, and you don't want to have big pieces. If you see little pieces of skin, make sure you pull them out. No one likes that. And what you're going to do then is just keeping the point of the blade on the board, just working the back of the knife up and down to chop down real small and fine pieces of the onion. A good trick for not crying is don't lean over the onion as you're cutting because all the fumes from the onion will come up and you'll be crying. But if that should happen, hey, just tell everybody you have a sad story or something. I don't know. Well, I like to have fun in the kitchen. I always try to tell stories. I try to tell stories here, but then I wind up talking too much. So anyway, with that said, I'm going to chop this up real fine. It might be a little bit too much onion here. If that's the case, I'll just save it in a sandwich bag and use it for whatever -- whatever else I use. I mean, I use onions pretty much three, four times a week in the kitchen, so I always save everything I use. Come back, I'll show you how nice and fine this should be chopped. Keep working it. It is stuffed cucumbers here on Expert Village."
