Mirepoix is a mixture of chopped onions, celery, and carrots in French cuisine. When gently cooked in oil, it produces very pleasing flavors that are usually used as a base for other dishes. In Italian cuisine, a similar mixture is called soffritto. In Cajun cuisine, onions, celery, and green bell peppers in combination are called the "holy trinity" and are used to make various key sauces. Here, I take advantage of this chemistry and make it a main dish, instead of using it just as a flavor base. It is a quick and simple way to make a delicious and healthy vegetable dish.
