Tips:

  • Mirepoix is a mixture of raw chopped onion, carrot, and celery sold fresh or frozen in many grocery stores. You can make your own by finely chopping 1 medium onion, 2 medium celery stalks, and 2 medium carrots.
  • Make this a dinner by plating 1½ servings (about 6 oz.), adding an extra bell pepper, and serving over cauliflower rice!
