Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of butter
1 yellow onion, chopped finely
2 celery stalks, chopped finely
2 carrots, peeled and chopped finely
3 cloves of garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Soffritto is a combination of equal parts onion, celery, and carrot, but measuring is not required; you can eyeball it. The quantities I listed are estimates, but it depends on the size of your produce.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over low heat, and add the butter
- Once the butter is melted, add the vegetables and stir until they are soft (5 min)
- Add the garlic and stir, cook until you smell the garlic (1-2 min)
- Done!
Notes
The hardest part of this is the chopping! I use a food chopper for the onion and a mini processor for the rest. Usually, I will make a large batch and freeze it into recipe-sized portions.
