    Carrot, then cooked in fat. Classic Mirepoix. Its only meant as a base stock for soups and a limited number of sauces. Its not only good, its great! I don’t think people are putting it everywhere.

      Ah, yes, thank you. Mirepoix. But no, I recognize it in tons of dishes at restaurants I’ve tried over the years. Maybe they all source their dishes from one source, but it sure seems like everything has been basted with a sauce using that combo, or the side dishes have been steeped in it. I’m not saying every food, just a ridiculous amount.
