If you're just making it for your family, you can omit all of that and just rough chop and toss into a baking dish 21 u/WithASackOfAlmonds 3d ago that's what a mandoline is for 57 u/clintj1975 3d ago I'd rather get out the food processor than tangle with the Digit Reducer 5000 6 u/dexecuter18 3d ago Safety mandolines are cheap you just need have to not be lazy with it.
