Guidry's Precut Holy Trinity
Posted on 9/9/25 at 8:34 am
Posted on 9/9/25 at 8:34 am
I'm doing a jambalaya for the tailgate this weekend and really don't feel like cutting veggies. Anyone know the approximate amount of onions/celery/bellpepper/green onion/garlic in one of these?

I can’t tell you specifics, but it’s mostly onions

Google search pops up a TD thread from 2018:
90% onions, 5% bell pepper and 5% celery

I just always go by pounds. If I need 20 pounds of onions, I’ll buy 20 pounds of Guidrys. It’s always been fine.

Make sure to get the fresh containers because some will have been sitting there longer and you can tell the difference.

The grocery sells frozen chopped veggies as well.

This. They can get funky quick when not fresh. Same with grocery store pico.

I looked this up a while ago. The finer you chop onions and garlic, the stronger the flavor you'll get in your cooking. Also, the longer onions and garlic sit after cutting the stronger the flavor. It may become too harsh for you, or you might like it. If Guidry's adds citric acid the change is slowed down.
The details are all about sulfur compounds and enzymes that are released when cells are cut open.

Benoit‘s meat block in Addis will pre-cut and chop your entire cook and have it vacuum sealed waiting for you if you call ahead.

Also, when buying onions pick them up and smell them. Should smell like the dirt it was grown in, if smells of onions or mold you got a hot one.

Frozen vegetables aren’t worth a damn in a jambalaya. They will never brown well. Some people refuse to use Kitchen Bouquet, I say frick that, I refuse to use frozen veggies.
Sam’s has a creole mix from California I believe. Same as Guidrys and always works well in a pinch.

Fresh is always better. The Guidry's stuff can be hit or miss, and it is almost all onions.
When I have a lot to chop I use something similar to this:
You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to get someone to actually help when you can have them just pull al lever while you chop sausage.
If you want something smaller and aren't doing 20lbs+ of onions or other vegetables, these actually work pretty welk and are a good bit cheaper.

Nah, bruh. I'm not standing in a grocery store and smelling onions to try to smell dirt or mold...

Just throw them in a colander and let them defrost. Then pat them with a papertowel. They turn out fine.

I don't know how much jambalaya you're making, but could possibly buy the frozen chopped onions, frozen chopped green peppers and celery if they have it at your local grocer.

I don't like using those precut vegetable mixes. They mix everything together and it all cooks at the same time, and makes a ton of water when you cook them. I'd rather pick out my onions, bell pepper, celery and garlic so you can control portions and the cook times.

Just buy your veges and use a food processor.
