How to prepare onions

Step 3Cutting slices

Cutting slices
For vertical slices, which will give you short strips:

Place the peeled onion on a chopping board, bottom down, top up.
Cut in half down the middle.

Place the halves flat side down on the board and cut from the outside-in.
When you've got nearly halfway through, cut downwards, but not through the root base (this is holding things together)
Slice the other side as you did the first, then cut the root base off, discard it (or put it in a stock pot)

For horizontal slices, which will give you half rings:

Place the peeled onion on a chopping board, bottom down, top up.
Cut in half down the middle.

Place the halves flat side down on the board and cut slices from top to bottom (as the onion goes), which will be left to right or vice versa depending upon your handedness.
