Mirepoix vegetables are an essential part of French cuisine. Mirepoix is a combination of finely chopped onion, carrot and celery, with a rate of 50% onions, 25% celery and carrots 25%, which is used to add aroma and flavor to soups, stocks and other food. They are usually fried with butter before the other ingredients were added, and herbs and meat in cubes can be included in the mirepoix. But mirepoix can also be added once the dish is finished, in order to update their flavors.
Mirepoix vegetables should be finely chopped, as this allows the flavor of the vegetables and the scent of food to be quickly released. Depending on what food will be used mirepoix, vegetables can be chopped into large pieces as one to two inches or as finely as 1/2-inch. However, it is very important that the pieces as uniform as possible so that they cook evenly. Many cooks also prepare the vegetables before Mirepoix, when in fact be used, and then store them in the freezer, they can stay fresh for several days after being bitten.
Preparing the onions and carrots for mirepoix involves a technique called brunoise cutting, which means to cut into very small pieces. To cut the carrots into mirepoix, cutting the four sides and tip to make the vegetables in an almost rectangular. Then cut into thin, even slices (a technique called julienne). Keep cuts together, then turn ninety degrees carrot and start dicing into small squares. For onion, peel a bulb and then cut in half, cut the top and place the flat side down on cutting board. Then cut into thin slices. Make two horizontal cuts that divide the onions roughly into three, making sure to leave some compensation at one end to help keep the onion together while in slices. Then dice the onion, making vertical cuts.
cutting celery mirepoix vegetables is a process similar to cutting carrots. Prepare the celery stalk by removing the top and bottom. Then make longitudinal cuts along the entire stem with the tip of knife into the stem and cut down to create thin matches. Then start sliced celery. When you are first diced mirepoix vegetables, start using a manageable size since making brunoise cuts can be difficult, then slowly move to the largest.
