Wikipedia
Mincing is a cooking technique in which food ingredients are finely divided. The effect is to create a closely bonded mixture of ingredients and a soft or pasty texture. Flavoring ingredients such as garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs may be minced to distribute flavor more evenly in a mixture. Additionally bruising of the tissue can release juices and oils to deliver flavors uniformly in a sauce. Mincemeat tarts and Pâtés employ mincing in the preparation of moldable paste. Meat is also minced and this cooking technique is used in Greek cuisine.
[edit] About Mincing
A cutting technique used to chop food into very fine pieces.
To mince, first, cut food into thin slices. If the food is thick, topple the slices over on its side and cut it into thin strips. Turn 90 degrees, cut fine dices across the strips.
Some chefs prefer to use two knives and perform drum rolls on the cutting board until the food has been chopped into small pieces.
