Chop the Bell Peppers: Slice off the top and bottom. Slice the rest lengthwise around the core into large pieces. Continue slicing the pieces into large sticks then chop the sticks into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the Onion: Lay each half flat on the board and thinly slice it. Next, slice each half horizontally, then rotate the halved onion towards you and slice vertically again to chop into small pieces.
Mince the Garlic: Thinly slice each peeled clove then rock the knife back and forth in a fanning motion over the sliced pieces until they are finely minced.
Chop the Parsley: Bunch the parsley leaves together and thinly slice. Then, using the knife in a rocking motion, chop the sliced pile once or twice, until they are finely minced.
