Cut it in half and throw it in the food processor.
Unless you mean "without"?

Practice?
Make sure you have a good knife and a good cutting board. Probably the best and fastest way to go.

Do it near an open flame. It reduces the cry.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

It makes sort of strips when I do that, but I guess fine for onion dip.

I think I'll try the video Jj posted, but I'm sure Gordon Ramsay has a lot more practice and a much better knife than me.
