    Hi, I am Monica Corrado with Simply Being Well, and were going to chop an onion for making beef stock. So, we have a cutting board; I like to put a towel under my cutting board so that the cutting board does not slide. I also use a Sankotu Knife because I find them very well balanced and easy to use, and were just going to start.

    The onion is part of the trinity needed for beef stock, so, trinity being onions, celery, and carrots. We also need three onions. So, three onions, were going to get three beautiful organic onions and we will start by just taking the ends off, and then I am going to just show you how to peel the outside. Put a small cut through the outer layer, were just going to peal that right off and then this is a very easy coarse cut. Were just going to cut it, what we call a coarse chop. I am cutting in half, cutting in half again and I am cutting them in half again. So, now weve got eight pieces of onion, and were just going to put them in a bowl getting them ready to go into the beef stock.

    So again; get your sharp knife, take off the ends and the onion skin, and often you can just put a small cut through the outside of the onion, peal the outside of the onion. Try not to cry too much with the onion; and then were just going to cut it once, twice - we get four pieces of onion for each half.

    So, this is what we call a coarse chop -- onions will make you cry for sure. So here we go; one more time; in half, in half and in half again, and weve got our onions ready for beef stock.
