Mirepoix is a French term that refers to aromatic vegetables used at the beginning of the cooking
process to build the flavor profile of a dish. In classic French cooking, mirepoix typically
consists of onions, celery, carrots and leeks.
However, every culture has their own variation. In Indian cuisine, many dishes start with a
mirepoix of slowly cooked onions and other aromatic vegetables. You can give a dish a
Mediterranean flare by using items such as onions, tomatoes, garlic and fennel.
For an Asian flavor, ingredients such as garlic, ginger and lemongrass can be used. Really, the
combinations are endless.
