Please choose the correct ending to complete the given sentence: Food and Entertaining: [header] How to julienne carrots [title] Chop the carrot in half. [step] A whole carrot is usually too cumbersome to julienne, so it helps to cut your carrots into smaller pieces. Use a sharp chef's knife to slice the carrot in half horizontally.

Ending1: Make sure to hold the carrot between your index and middle fingers as you cut to prevent the carrot from falling off. [substeps] If you're preparing fresh carrots, place them in a colander to drain. Ending2: [substeps] If a carrot is particularly long, you may want to cut it into three or four pieces. You'll have the easiest time julienning pieces that are approximately 3-to 4-inches (8 to 10 cm) long or smaller. Ending3: Take a colander and place it over a bowl so that the carrots are securely confined in the colander. [substeps] You can cut them on the stalk side or in the center. Ending4: Once all the carrot pieces are cut into halves, let the cut halves rest on a plate or a cutting board, so they'll be easy to slice with a sharp knife. [substeps] If your carrots are not dark enough for julienne, they don't actually need to be cut into quarters or wedges.
