Today, we move on to the Mincing section of our eBook...
---------------------------------------------------------
Mincing is a very fine cut that is suitable for many vegetables and herbs. When mincing herbs, rinse and dry them thoroughly, and strip the leaves from the stems.
-
Gather the leaves in a pile on a cutting board.
-
Use your guiding hand to hold them in place and position the knife so that it can slice through the pile; coarsely chop.
-
Once the herbs are coarsely chopped, use the fingertips of your guiding hand to hold the tip of the chef’s knife in contact with the cutting board.
-
Keeping the tip of the blade against the cutting board, lower the knife firmly and rapidly, repeatedly cutting through the herbs. Continue cutting until the desired fineness is attained.
