Cooking the Holy Trinity
Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or rendered bacon fat
- 1-2 large onions diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 2-3 stalks of celery diced
Instructions
- Dice all of the ingredients into even size pieces.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil of choice or rendered bacon fat over MEDIUM heat.
- Add the diced trinity (onions, green bell pepper, and celery) to the pot and saute until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent - about 8-10 minutes.
- Continue on with the beginning of your recipe. The next step is usually the addition of minced garlic.
Notes
NOTES: what you're making will dictate how much of each of the vegetables you will need. When I'm making my Monday Red Beans and Rice, I go with 1 large onion, 1 small green bell pepper, and 3 stalks of celery which is about 1/2 cup worth, and saute it in rendered bacon fat. I like the smoky base that the bacon offers.
