This isn’t a recipe so much as a cooking tip for people who have trouble physically chopping food for recipes: use a heavy knife. The heavier the knife itself, the less pressure you have to exert yourself, and the handle is usually significantly wider so easier to hold if you have weakness in your hands. Think like a big chef’s knife or even a meat cleaver honestly. Additionally, be way higher than the surface you’re cutting on— I like either sitting on the counter/table with the cutting board or kneeling on a high stool, so I don’t have to lift my arms as high to get a good a good chop angle but can still sit or kneel. I’ve got significant nerve damage and muscle weakness in my hands and arms, and can manage a decent amount of rough chopping with a heavy knife!
