Mirepoix... those three magical little ingredients are pretty much gospel for me with anything I make.

Without them, I think I'd be at a total loss as to what to use as substitution ?

Nothing really, it has become so ubiquitous in various cuisines that they would not be the same without them. One of my favorite examples is the Polish version which literally translates to 'Italian stuff' that they add to soups and stocks.

A good mirepoix/sofrito is critical in building layers of flavor.
