Tipful Tuesday: The Trinity

Mama Butta gives us many tips that are so helpful to beginners in the kitchen. Lots of blogs do themed days - so I figured why not let Mama Butta's helpful tips be a weekly piece of advice to you

so.... introducing TIPFUL TUESDAY!!



The Creole Trinity - onions, green bell pepper and celery


This is a basic combination used for many creole dishes. It is always a good idea to always have the trinity on hand. The possibility for this triplet is truly endless. Try our red beans and rice or gumbo! The French also have a 3 ingredient staple they call mirepoix - carrots, celery and onions. This is used in many French stews and soups.

Tip when cutting celery - glide your knife down the middle of the stalk lengthwise. Cut those pieces in half stack them and chop! Easy dicing!


Mama B has a great way to easily chop an onion. Maybe we will make a video of that for you!!

Check out the red beans and rice recipe we posted earlier today. Hope you will benefit from tipful Tuesday!!
