Authentic Soffrito Recipe
Description
This soffrito recipe calls for equal parts of finely chopped carrot, white onion, and celery, cooked uniformly in extra virgin olive oil. The vegetables are sautéed over gentle heat to soften and release their flavors without browning too quickly. Adding white wine and allowing it to reduce helps to deepen the aroma and tenderize the vegetables further, turning them a gentle golden color.
The texture of this soffrito is soft but not mushy, providing a subtle sweet and savory undertone to any sauce or dish it is added to. Its balance of ingredients and cooking time allows it to blend seamlessly with meats, tomatoes, or broths.
Ensuring the vegetable pieces are cut to similar small sizes promotes even cooking and consistent flavor. This soffrito is versatile and essential for enhancing the base of traditional sauces or stews.
Ingredients
- 3 carrot
- 1 white onion
- 3 celery
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- With a sharp knife, finely chop or mince the onions, carrots, and celery. Try to cut the vegetables with uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.

Notes
