The Barren Luna

by Daria T. Rowan

Chopping the onions gave me an excuse to cry for a little bit over that fact, and then I recovered as I diced the carrots and the celery. I sautéed the veggies in olive oil and the smell of the soffritto had me hungry in seconds.

Onions, carrots, and celery that's mire poix. Sofrito is onions, garlic, green bell pepper and sometimes other peppers, olive oil, cilantro and oregano. (sometimes tomatoes) The Holy Trinity is used in cajun/ceole/southern cooking that uses onions, celery, and green bell pepper plus garlic usually.
