Assuming you start with a whole cooked onion, I would carefully slice 
it into a few chunks, then reduce the chunks as fine as I wanted them 
with a French chef's knife: one hand on the handle, the other on the 
back of the knife, rock the knife back and forth over the area 
without worrying about which pieces are under the blade at the moment.
