What it is
This is a convenient frozen mix of pre-chopped aromatic vegetables. It typically includes diced onions, carrots, and celery. These vegetables are the foundational flavors for many savory dishes.

How people cook with it
This frozen mirepoux blend is a versatile shortcut for building flavor in a wide range of recipes.
- Soups and stews
- Sauces and gravies
- Casseroles
- Roasting vegetables
Simply add the frozen mirepoux blend directly from the package into your pot or pan. It can be sautéed with a little oil or butter at the beginning of your cooking process, just as you would fresh mirepoux. The vegetables will thaw and cook down, releasing their flavors into your dish. You can also add it to simmering liquids like broths or stocks to infuse them with aromatic depth. Ensure the vegetables are fully cooked through before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh mirepoux, this frozen blend requires no washing, peeling, or chopping. It offers the same classic flavor base but with added convenience. The vegetables are flash-frozen, which helps to preserve their texture and taste, though they may release more moisture when cooked compared to fresh.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick way to start flavorful dishes will appreciate this blend.
How to keep the rest
Keep this frozen mirepoux blend in your freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or colder. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness. It is best to use the contents within a reasonable timeframe after purchase for optimal quality.
