The Holy Trinity
Old Acadiana lore has it as onions , celery and green peppers.
However in the deeps south of LA it is purple onion , celery and red peppers. It has more kick..
In Mexico it is onions, tomatoes, and celery.
In Canada it is onions, carrots and celery.
Now I like my Trinity for beef from Canada and fish/ chicken as Old Acadiana Trinity. Never tried the Mexico Trinity..
Has anyone used the Mexico Trinity and what did you cook with it?

Re: The Holy Trinity
Ours (Cuba) is onions, green peppers and tomatoes. We make picadillo, rope vieja, boliche, carne con papas, paella.....you name it. We also use it as a base for many potajes (bean stews). We don't use much celery.
Time to go fishin' again!

Re: The Holy Trinity
in Canada it is onions, carrots and celery.
Not just Canada, but pretty much all of Europe and the US. I use the trinity plus garlic for everything that stews.
Also learned from an almost 100 year old Mexican lady from Wohaca (SP??) that she uses onions, carrots, and celery as a base for everything too in her mexican cooking. Best receipe I have from her is to boil pork in the trinity (w/ garlic, salt & pepper) for about 45 minutes, then bake for an hour. Shred & make anything - tacos, burritos, machaca, etc. for a second baking. Her explanation of the boiling & two bakings was meat down in Mexico usually needed the bacteria in it killed. I was down there for buiz, and saw kids selling un-refrigerated raw meat out of wagons so understook what she was talking about.
Her cooking used very little tomatoes - unless it was in the sauce.
