Chopping is dividing an ingredient into smaller, more workable pieces with a knife. The size of the pieces can be coarse or fine depending on the recipe's needs. It's one of the basic steps in preparing vegetables, fruit, and meat.
Where It's Used
“Before chopping the onion, cut it in half and place the flat side on the counter.”
