Freezing Mirepoix

Supplies:

• 6 yellow, white or red onions (I used a mixture of yellow and red)
• 4-6 carrots
• 1 bunch celery

Steps:

1. Chop or dice onion, celery and carrots into similar sized pieces and place into individual bowls. I left the leaves in the center of the celery because they add a nice flavor.

 

 

 

 
2. Take a 1 cup measuring cup and add the vegetables to a quart size freezer bag. The ratio should be 2:1:1, so 2 cups onion (I did 1 cup white, 1 cup red), 1 cup celery and 1 cup carrot. This is approximately 1 medium onion, 1 large carrot and 2 celery ribs.

3. Seal bag after getting as much air as possible. A vacuum sealer would be best to avoid any freezer burn. Place in freezer for 3+ months, longer if better sealed.

I wound up cutting up a bit more carrots at the end to get another bag of mirepoix. I had extra onions so I froze those separately. Perfect to use when I discover I don't have an onion in my pantry.

6 onions? Not unless you're making 10 gallons of Onion soup. Who came up with that? I would spend a week sitting on the toilet.
