Mirepoix is a mix of three simple vegetables that add so much flavour to so many dishes.

Mirepoix is a finely diced mixture of carrots, celery and onions. It is often sweated off in the first stages of a recipe to enhance the flavour of sauces, soups, stews and numerous other dishes.

Although usually finely diced, some recipes, such as a stock recipe might call for ‘mirepoix roughly chopped’. ‘Mirepoix au gras’ is simply mirepoix with meat and usually refers to the addition of bacon or ham.

How to Make Mirepoix

  1. Dice the vegetables into uniform pieces.
  2. Use as per your recipe requires.
