Using a food processor to prepare onions

Whether you need to chop onions ready to cook for tonight’s dinner or prep some in advance for a mass batch-cooking session, using your MultiPro food processor will help you do it quickly and easily, and produce consistent, evenly-sized results.

Models with the Express Serve™attachment, like the ultra-compact MultiPro Go, allow you to slice an unlimited quantity directly onto a plate or into a pan, while keeping the main bowl clean.

Another added bonus of using a food processor rather than a knife to cut up your onions? You'll save yourself a lot of tears, too.

Chopping onions with the knife blade

Chopping and mincing your onions: 
  • Start by removing the onion’s papery skin and slicing off both the top and root with a sharp knife. Cut into quarters. 
  • Fit your food processor’s knife blade. Place the onion in the food processor bowl and secure the lid. 
  • Process until you achieve the desired size. Use the pulse function in short bursts for chopped onions. For a finer, more minced consistency, process in longer bursts.

Vous pouvez également utiliser votre robot pour émincer les oignons :
  • Préparez votre oignon en l'épluchant et en coupant les extrémités, avant de le couper en 2 ou en 4.
  • Installez le disque à émincer dans le bol du robot et fermez le couvercle. L'installation peut varier en fonction de votre modèle, vérifiez donc toujours la notice de votre robot.
  • Sélectionnez une vitesse sur le robot et insérez les oignons l'un après l'autre dans la cheminée d'alimentation.

Onion storage tips

Onions contain a lot of water, so you may find there is some excess liquid in the food processor bowl after processing. We suggest draining the water away before you remove the onions from the bowl.

Chopped or sliced onions can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for 1-2 days, making them an ideal ingredient to prep ahead. Raw chopped onion can also be stored in the freezer in sealed freezer bags. These can then be added to recipes and cooked straight from frozen.
