How to prep your veg

For fajitas, preparation is everything. To get that signature crunch, cut your veg into long, thin strips that can be cooked quickly.
Start off by standing your pepper upright, lining your knife up with one of its sections and slicing downwards, avoiding the stalk. Repeat for all sections (some peppers only have two, others up to four or five). Discard the centre and slice each section into thin slices.
For the onion, turn it on its side and chop off the top. Then, turn it upright to sit on the flat edge you’ve just created and cut it in half, before peeling with the root still attached (this helps to keep it together). All that’s left to do is slice each half into thin strips by holding onto the root, then discard it – simple!
