Instructions
Start off by chopping your carrots, celery, and onion into chunks that are as large (or small) as you like.
Place your pot or pan over medium heat and add the butter (or extra virgin olive oil).
Once hot, add in the chopped vegetables.
Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and tender (but not mushy).
Once the onions are transparent and the carrots and celery are tender, use your mirepoix in your desired recipe.
Notes
You can choose whether you want larger or smaller chunks of veggies. Smaller pieces will be less noticeable in your final dish while larger ones will be more prominent. They will still add tons of flavor either way!
If you want a Cajun feel, swap out the carrots for bell peppers!
Feel free to add in some tomato paste to the veggies while they cook (this is called a pincage).
