Description
Mirepoix is an essential flavor base made from humble vegetables such as onions, celery, and carrots. Made from finely diced vegetables like celeray and carrot, it is cooked in butter or oil, low and slow so as to sweeten the ingredients rather than caramelize them. There are only three things in a mirepoix: carrots, celery, and onions. Traditional mirepoix consists of two parts onions, one part carrots, and one part celery. When combined, these three simple ingredients, commonly referred to as "aromatics," come together to add flavor. It is one of the most essential steps in adding flavor to stews, soups, stocks, curries, stir-frys, etc.
