Mirepoix is a mixture of diced onions, carrots, and celery that is commonly used as a base for many dishes in French cuisine. It is typically sautéed in butter or oil to release its flavors and aromas before other ingredients are added. Mirepoix adds depth and complexity to dishes such as soups, stews, sauces, and braises.

A mirepoix is a combination of diced vegetables used as a base for soups, stews, stocks, and sauces. It typically consists of:

- Onions: Provide sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Carrots: Add sweetness, color, and some crunch.
- Celery: Provides a subtle celery flavor and freshness.

The vegetables are typically cut into small, even-sized dice so that they cook evenly. The ratio of onions to carrots to celery can vary depending on personal preference, but a common ratio is 2:1:1.
