How Do I Mince?
To mince is to chop food into very small pieces. Begin by cutting the food into thin slices, then gather them together and make a series of fine cuts with a sharp knife until the desired size is reached. Alternatively, use a food processor or a mezzaluna (Italian curved knife with two handles) to make the mincing process faster and more efficient. Mincing is often used for garlic, onion, parsley, and other herbs, among other foods.
