What is Your Normal Trinity Ratio?
Posted on 1/8/13 at 8:02 pm
Posted on 1/8/13 at 8:02 pm
Many of you know, I am a ratio-type person. What is your normal ratio when you use the trinity? I always thought the default ratio was 2 parts onion, 1 part celery, 1 part green pepper.
Is that your ratio for all recipes or do you use a different ratio all the time or do you vary it depending on the recipe?

I've always done 1-1-1. But you're the ratio boss.
What am I doing wrong?

So for those that have responded, is that the ratio you always use, or does it depend on the dish?

It eventually works its way in there

Depends on size of onion/pepper.
Posted on 1/8/13 at 8:40 pm to CHEDBALLZ
3 onions = about 3 cups chopped onions
2 bell peppers = 2 cups chopped
1/2 bunch celery = about 3-4 cups chopped
1 bunch green onions = 2 cups chopped
1/2 clove garlic = nothing
2 bell peppers = 2 cups chopped
1/2 bunch celery = about 3-4 cups chopped
1 bunch green onions = 2 cups chopped
1/2 clove garlic = nothing

2-1-1 is traditional but sometimes it depends on what I have in the fridge.

Maybe I should have said half a head of garlic..... I also think im off on the celery..... I know its not 3 cups of celery.
Lets just say 3 parts onion
1 1/2 part bell pepper
1 part celery
Green onions and I like garlic

Yep. But, with most things, I'll add a lot more than a half clove of garlic to that ratio. Probably, at least three.

1 onion
3 ribs of celery
1 bell pepper
Everything about average size

6 parts onion
3 parts bell pepper
1 part garlic
Not a celery fan, so that's my "prairie Cajun" trinity

From my limited understanding, green onions and garlic are aromatics and aren't really ingredients so that would still be a true trinity.
I have a question. I really dislike the taste of celery, would substituting be a total sin? What could I sub with?
