CAJUN HOLY TRINITY

In the world of Cajun and Creole cooking, the Holy Trinity isn’t a religious reference (though it is treated with reverence). It’s the aromatic base of nearly every classic Louisiana dish.

Notes

Now you have a flavorful base that’s ready to build upon. It’s up to you to decide where to take it from here.
There are a few theories as to why this includes green bell peppers. Some say that the mild taste of a green bell pepper is preferred in Louisiana. Some lore says that green bell peppers were chosen as they grow better in Louisiana than carrots.
