Mirepoix is a classic aromatic base in French cuisine, made by slowly cooking a combination of onions, carrots, and celery to enhance the sweetness and depth of various dishes.
Traditional Mirepoix Ratio:
📌 1 part celery : 2 parts onions : 1 part carrots
This balanced blend adds richness to:
✔️ Soups & stews
✔️ Sauces & stocks
✔️ Braised meats
💡 Pro Tip: Cook mirepoix low and slow to bring out its natural sweetness without browning the vegetables.
