Chopping Herbs
- To chop herbs, place the leaves in a glass measuring cup or small bowl and cut them into tiny pieces with kitchen shears, using short, quick strokes.
- Another effective tool for chopping herbs is a mezzaluna, a curved blade that chops as you rock it from side to side on a cutting board.
- Chop your herbs with a chef's knife on a cutting board or snip them with a kitchen scissors. To speed cutting with a scissors, cut herbs coarsely into a small bowl or cup and snip back and forth with your scissors.
- Be careful if using a food processor to cut herbs as it's easy to turn them to a paste rather than tiny pieces.
