I knew there was a phrase or word for it but I heard a long time ago … I learned it from my mom who was taught by French Canadian cooks, I also saw it in lots of French Canadian recipes and it was all reinforced when I noticed the same thing with recipes I learned from Italian cooking (from Italian Canadian friends who were descended from northern Italy)
For me its frying
Onions, celery and carrots
basically a great start to lots of dishes
This is called a mirepoix and the base of a lot of French cuisine. I agree that this combo is amazing
