Soffritto
Soffritto is an aromatic Italian base made with finely diced onion, carrot, and celery slowly cooked in olive oil.
Gentle cooking concentrates the vegetables’ sweetness without browning them. White wine and tomato paste then add depth to this versatile preparation, ideal for starting a tomato sauce, stew, soup, or risotto.
