The trinity for baby – without the peppers

Jan 27, 2010 Friendly Baby Food Advice, New Baby Food Recipes

I always remember my Mom and other cooks I know using the “trinity” in a majority of dishes. The “trinity” to me is onions, red bell peppers and celery. There are many types of trinities to be found in various types of ethnic cuisines; an Italian trinity can be tomato, basil and garlic for example. The trinity can be added to almost any recipe you can think of. I like to use it in soups, meatloaf/meatballs, when sauteeing chicken and so many others.

As babies may have delicate tummies when it comes to peppers and onions (both may make people gassy but peppers more so), you can make a trinity using carrots in the place of red bell peppers!

I saute all the veggies together and then add them to whatever I’m cooking. This trinity consisted of 1 medium onion, 2 stalks of celery and 2 medium sized carrots. My trinity below went into homemade chicken pie. Why yes, it was de-lisch and I’ll probably post it here this week
