Each dish has its own secret and its most appropriate spices and products. It can even be said that there are products that are extremely characteristic and suitable for certain things.
In Bulgarian cuisine, for example, onions and carrots are used for almost every traditional dish. They are usually cut into small pieces and fried first of all if there is no meat. In case the meat is raw, it is fried before the vegetables. After slightly changing color or softening (onion and carrot), add the remaining products, then spices, etc.
We can even call onions (carrots not so much) a basic product, the basis of the dish. In different areas of the world there are different combinations of products that are used as a basis for the culinary feats of chefs.
Mirpoa is the French basis for dishes. Used very often, not only in France, these few products in combination are known around the world. You know very well that French names are quite common even in our country - concasse, glazing and others.
Mirpoa it is actually a combination of several types of vegetables. In this case we are talking about onions, carrots and celery, and these three types of vegetables must be in equal parts. With the use of these three products, many French and non-French dishes begin. They are used to make broths, various stews, soups and even sauces.
These three ingredients - celery, onion and carrot are the backbone of the dish. Their combination gives an unsurpassed aroma to any dish. In different parts of the world, this basis is different - sometimes just by name, other times with different products.
In Spain, they call the three obligatory vegetables they add to their dishes sofrito. Apart from the name, the soffrit is also different in composition - there the vegetables are onion, garlic and tomato.
And since mirpoa is suitable mainly for meat dishes, is there any difference if you cook fish? The combination in unsurpassed French cuisine, which is used for fish, bears the same name, but contains different products.
Mirpoa for fish is a leek, which is a substitute for carrots, onions and celery.
