Onions, celery, and carrots are considered traditional soffrito in Italian cooking. When cooked low-and-slow in a generous amount of olive oil, their combined flavors form a versatile base for countless recipes. The mix of vegetables and cooking process is known as the holy trinity in Italian cooking.

The key ingredients of soffritto – onion, carrots, celery – are often called holy trinity, though this definition is not common at all for Italians. We just call it battuto, that’s before it’s cooked, or soffritto. This is the correct spelling, no sofrito :). But let’s see exactly what I’m talking about. What does soffritto mean?
Soffitto is the Italian word for ‘fried slowly’, as after the vegetables have been finely diced they are then gently cooked in a generous amount of olive oil and sometimes butter. Traditionally chopped with a mezzaluna and stirred with a wooden spoon, the soffritto should be cooked until dorata (golden brown).
