The Holy Trinity is commonly used in Cajun and Louisiana Creole cuisine. It is typically sauteed in oil before used, although you can use it raw. But there is a certain way that these three ingredients need to be used. Come with me. I’ll show you what to do. The trinity onion, celery, and green bell pepper. most people don’t tell you is that when using it, it’s quite necessary for most recipes that you start and use more onion than celery. More celery than green bell pepper. It pretty much doesn’t matter what recipe you’re using. If you use this formula, you will have a very wellbalanced dish. Why? Because bell pepper is stronger than celery and celery is stronger than onion. So to balance it out, you always need more onion than celery, more celery than green bell pepper. Celery, onion, green bell pepper.

Stronger?
Thank you …
Does this also apply for cornbread dressing?
Love your videos. You're terrific. So kind AND HELPFUL
In Australia we tend to use carrot instead of or with Bell pepper.
Please explain the quantities…example
3/4 cup of onion… 1/2 cup celery..1/4 cup green bell pepper
Or use a ratio
"more than" 🤔 is not a measurement that makes sense to me.
Good info but I don’t like cooked celery
Thankyou again Ms Pam now bring on the hard copy for our daughters and me too😁

Good to know, for a balanced trinity blend. Thank you 😊😊😊
Did you know when ppl in new orleans add garlic they call the garlic “the pope” lol
Thanks🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Yes, thank you Ms. Pam for this lesson. This is true in many dishes like soups, stews, some red gravy dishes. However in some beans dishes like red, less celery than bell pepper. Louisiana grandmother here.🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Celery isn't stronger than onion, its the other way around….but yes its usually 2 to 1 ratio. I more typically use a French mirepoix or Italian soffritto, which is onion, celery and carrot, not green bell peppers. Depends on what you're making.
THANK YOU!!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Pam you are the best!
I usually hear the holy trinity is composed of onion, celery, and garlic.
Wow! I didn’t know that! I thought it was just proportioned by equal parts. Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow!! I learned something new today! Thank you!
Interesting
Hey cooking at Pam's place 😁🖐️
Did not know this thank you.
Your always schooling me, thank you
Seems like up north people use carrots instead of green bell pepper. I like your version with the green bell pepper a lot better. Especially in bread stuffing for turkey.
Didn't know that 😮
I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal without starting with these three ingredients.
