About

Soffritto is the backbone of many Italian dishes, providing a complex, aromatic base that enhances the overall flavor. The way you cook it depends on what you're doing with it. It is made with onions, carrots, and celery often in a 2:1:1 ratio. Onions provide a sweet and savory base, adding depth to the dish. Carrots add a subtle sweetness and color, balancing the flavors. Celery contributes a slight bitterness and aromatic quality. If you want more sweetness, use more carrot, if you want it to be richer, use more onions, and if you want it to be fresher, use more celery You can cook them it different ways too. Cook on low heat for about 45 minutes for a deep, integrated flavor, ideal for a Bolognese sauce. Cook quickly on higher heat for about 5 minutes to maintain a crisp texture and fresh flavor, perfect for quick dishes like a chicken soup
