The Trinity

The Trinity

In most if not all Louisiana and Creole dishes, we use what we call in Southern Louisiana;
"The Trinity". The Trinity is made up of diced onions, diced green bell peppers and diced
celery. This is the base for our dishes. We consider it a part of seasoning, along with garlic,
salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Don't confuse The Trinity with a mirepoix which is carrots, onions and celery. The
combination of onions, celery, and green bell peppers makes our cuisine have that rich and
unique taste. The importance of this seasoning mixture is why it is held in such high esteem
in Louisiana hence the name The Trinity.
