Ingredients

1 onion
1 carrot
2 celery rib
¼ tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon water , a little more if needed

Instructions

Wash, trim and peel carrot, onion and celery. Cut each vegetable into small ⅛ - ¼ inch (3-6 mm) cubes.
Once veggies are cut, put them in a pan with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and very little water. Turn the heat on medium-low.
Stir soffritto from time to time, without ever letting it brown.
Depending on the amount of the soffritto you’re making, it’ll take anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes for soffritto to cook. Never rush soffritto but cook it slowly to allow the vegetables to release all their flavors.
You might be tempted to turn up the heat, but, please, don’t. Soffritto will not cook faster and you’ll have a great chance of burning it.
If it dries out, add a little more water.
Once soffritto is ready you can continue on with the preparation of the dish that calls for it, adding more ingredients to the pan.
If you’re not planning to use soffritto right away, allow it to cook and store it in the fridge in an airtight container for 2 days.
