Mirepoix (cuisine)

Mirepoix is a mix of vegetables that are chopped up and used to start making some really yummy dishes.

You take some onions, carrots, and celery and cut them into small pieces. Then, you put them in a pot or a pan with some oil or butter and heat them up.

When the vegetables start to sizzle and become soft and transparent, you know that your mirepoix is ready.

After that, you can add some more ingredients like meat or spices, and cook everything together to make a delicious dish like soup or stew.

Mirepoix is kind of like a secret ingredient that makes everything taste better!
