Mirepoix
Onions are a shoo-in for most recipes, but have you ever heard of Mirepoix? Two parts onion to one part each carrot and celery, Mirepoix is a trio that adds deep flavor when cooked.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium Vidalia onion
- 1 large carrot
- 2 stalks celery
- 2 Tbsp. butter or olive oil
Directions:
Peel and remove the top of the onion. With the root end still attached, chop into 1/2 inch pieces.
Wash, peel, and trim the ends of the carrot. Chop into 1/2 inch pieces.
Wash and trim celery ends. Chop stalks into 1/2 pieces.
In a large skillet, melt butter (or olive oil) over medium heat, add vegetables once melted or heated through. Adjust heat down to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
