Mirepoix
Report
Mirepoix lends a rich aroma to dishes as well as a subtle but distinct depth of flavor that creates a taste that is just undeniably amazing.

Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 talk of celery

Instructions
- Dice the vegetables.
- Add to skillet and sauté in oil on medium heat until the onion is translucent.
- Add to your soup, entree, etc.

Notes
- Do not overcook the veggies! Again the goal is to sweat them, not brown them. Do not use more than medium heat and stir constantly.
- Be mindful of the ratio. We used equal parts of the three ingredients, but the standard French technique is 2:1:1 – 2 onions, 1 celery, and 1 carrot. It would always depend on your preference or the recipe you are making.
- As the carrots simmer, they get sweeter. If you’re using an extra-large carrot, you might want to use only one or half to avoid overpowering your dish with its flavor.
- When making a bigger batch, the pot should be wide with relatively high edges, so the vegetables are easy to stir, eliminating the risk of burning the Mirepoix.
- Add the vegetables in the correct order. Diced carrots should come first as they are the toughest of the veggies, followed by onion, and lastly, the celery.
- An alternative is adding tomato paste or puree to amp your Mirepoix, especially for brown sauces or gravies. This is called pinçage.
