Whats the easiest way to chop rosemary?

From time to time I have to finely chop large amounts of rosemary at work. The job is tedious and time consuming but I haven't figured out any way other than just a knife. A food processor just turns the leaves brown and mushy. Anybody got any tips or tricks?

The easiest way for you to do this is to get somebody else to do it. Rosemary is hardly a difficult herb to prep, try large amounts of thyme, when plucking it takes forever.
Reply:the rosemary grows up so hold it at the top and pull back going the way againt the little flower things.





Maybe just crushing them with the side of a knife, or a flat bottom cup.
Reply:Pull the opposite way which the rosemary grows. But when you chop, a little Kosher salt to use as an abrasive. Also great for garlic when you want it really pulverized.
