The julienne cut is basic in cooking and for the preparation of many recipes, but it can seem complicated since the cuts do not always come out the same size. Here’s the easiest and simplest way to know how to julienne.
To make julienne cuts you need:
• The vegetable you want to julienne
• A good knife
2
Peel the vegetable if necessary.
3
Trim the ends so your vegetables are straight; otherwise, the cuts will be uneven.
4
Cut into several sections according to the length you want the sticks to have in the end.
5
Slice a thin strip lengthwise; this will give you a stable base when chopping.
6
Place this base down and cut strips lengthwise, trying to keep your juliennes the same thickness.
7
Form a tower with the slices and cut lengthwise again, trying to keep the thickness of the cuts equal to the previous cuts.
Done! You now have your perfect julienne cuts.
