Bolognese? You get to brunoise everything for the sofrito, and if you want you can use whatever meat you want and just cut it finely.

Ok no, actually I'm vegetarian zero-knowledge cook, but guess it makes little difference. Sofrito.. thanks for the term

There are vegan "bolognese" variants that I used to make quite often.
The version I like uses red lentils and walnuts instead of minced meat.
Otherwise it is relatively similar to the original. (soffrito base etc.)
If you want to chop/brunoise a lot, just make a huge batch and freeze some.

If you want to do lots of slicing I can recommend Marcella Hazan´s potatoe soup with smothered onions, or her pasta sauce with smothered onions.

Agree with the bolognese recommendations. You can also substitute shiitake and other mushrooms for meat.

Impossible ground non-meat has been pretty good for me in bolognese if it's available where you are.

Pasta a la Norma?

My go to knife testing dish is Pasta Primavera. As many vegetables as you want cut in a uniform small dice. Sautee in butter, add some cream, simmer, add pasta and Parmesan, stir. Enjoy.

Mine always has onion, pepper, carrot, and celery plus whatever I have around or in is season.

Eggplant also has a decent amount of umami and it can be used as fine dicing practice.
