Onions and Bell Peppers

[wsonner]

How do YOU chop them? One of my least favorite tasks.

I don't. That's what the kitchen minions (kids) are for!

For using as a raw topping, I slice onions in rings, thin enough so they will be partially cooked but still have a slight toothiness when done.  If I'm caramelizing them, then I use thick rings so they don't cook down to mush. 

I either cut bell pepper into long very thin strips or into slightly smaller than 1/4 inch square chunks, depending on what else I'm topping with.  I like thin strips in a sparsely topped pizza, and chunks in a heartier pie.

Nice. I'll try these.  I usually chop everything into little squares...pain.

Very quickly....   I normally ring peppers very thin so they don't bleed all over my pizza.    For onions, I usually julianne them, thin for raw, thicker for saute.

Pizza: Onions & Peppers...8 inch chef's knife.

Lots of onions? My 20 yr old Borner V-Slicer.

Onions are one of the very few things I almost never put on a pie raw. I like them sliced through the poles then the halves sliced into thin strips longitudinally. I usually roast them in the oven with some evoo and smoked salt.

I will only put roasted red peppers on my pizza and I apply them in long, thin strips. On a rare occasion that I use onions, it is a mini dice of red onion only.

My wife and I are fans of NCIS and in one episode they ordered a pepperoni and onion pie, so we figured "why not give it a try".  It has now become one of our standard go to pizza's!

I've always loved one with just hamburger and onions.

I enjoy cutting by hand. But if I was in a hurry I might try the slicer that fits in the top of the food processor.
