It will also add a good presentation to our dish. 1. Rough Chop A rough chop is the most basic vegetable cut. It produces pieces that are “roughly” the size of a large dice (3/4 to 1 inch) without precision. If a recipe does not specify how a vegetable is to cut, chefs will use a rough chop to halve the quarter to make the piece smaller. 2. Dice Dicing vegetable help food cook more quickly and look more. A dice is a cube cut made by slicing a vegetable vertically and horizontally to achieve a checkered pattern. Examples: potatoes, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Large dice- ¾ inch, medium dice- ½ inch small dice- ¼ inch. 3. Mince A mince is essentially a very fine chop that when perform on a vegetable (e.g. garlic) will resemble a coarse paste. Minced vegetables dissolve quickly and are perfect for cooking broths and sauces. 4. Slice Slicing a vegetable typically results in flat, round vegetable discs. This makes layering and stacking vegetables on top of each other easier. The thickness of the slice will vary depending on the recipe. Example: Potato Chips 5. Julienne Often referred to as the “match stick cut “. A is used in recipes like coleslaw, spring rolls, and wraps when vegetables need to be thin and elongated. Julienne- 1/8 inch / 2 inches Fine Julienne- 1/16 inch/ 2 inches 6. Brunoise The brunoise is essentially a julienne cut cube. It produces pieces measuring 1/8 or 1/16 inch depending on the size of the julienne. 7. Chiffonade A chiffonade is most often used to slice leafy green vegetable or herbs that are to be stirred into a recipe or used as a garnish. To properly executes a chiffonade, neatly stack leaves that are roughly the same size roll the stack from stem to tip. Slice the roll lengthwise several times to create beautiful ribbons.
