How to Prepare Different Types Of Cut Vegetables



cooking tips and tricks

The julienne is a common cut when you prepare a salad or other dish that requires a similar-thickness vegetable strip. To prepare this type cut, simply slice each vegetable into thin strips. Then stack them one over the other. Juliennes work best for leafy greens, and the process involves rolling the leaves into a tube, cutting them into thin strips, and then stacking them.

Brunoise

Most restaurants prepare vegetables using julienne, but the brunoise is an alternative. This technique allows the vegetables to be cut into 3mm cubes. This is particularly useful for vegetables like potatoes, which are much more difficult to cut than other types of vegetables. Here are some tips to help you get started if you're not sure.

Chiffonade

Chiffonade can be described as a French cooking technique. Thin strips of leafy vegetables, or larger herbs, are cut into thin strips to look like a sliver. The term chiffonade means "in rags" but looks much more elegant than rags. It can be made with a variety green thin leaves, such as spinach, sorrel, or radicchio.

The basic task of chopping and slicing vegetables can be done quickly. How can you ensure they cook evenly? Oblique cuts ensure that more vegetable surface area is heated. This type of cut, also known by a roll-cut, allows you to make pieces that are identical in size and shape but not uniformly. This tutorial will show you how to make an Oblique Cut in your own kitchen.

Paysanne

If you see a Paysanne demonstration, you'll be intrigued to give it another try. This method involves cutting vegetables like butter from a miniature stick, and the end result is like eating tiny pats of butter. This demonstration used a daikon-radish vegetable. However, if you prefer a more sophisticated cut, use a chef's knife. The blade should be sharp.


Oblique cut

If you love to cook, and you're looking for a new way to add variety to your vegetable collection, the oblique cutting technique is for you. This simple technique gives vegetables a uniform and even cooking time. Oblique cuts can also be called roll cuts and are very easy to master. These cuts can be used for roasting, stir-frying, and glazing as the exposed area gives them a more attractive look and texture.
