Battuto

Battuto is a mixture of diced onion, celery and carrot and provides a base to start a lot of Italian dishes such as soups, pasta sauces and osso buco.

Sometimes I add chopped basil, garlic, sage, or Italian parsley to the Battuto and sometimes I add diced pancetta or ham depending on what recipe I'm using.

1 large Onion diced
2 large Carrots diced
2 large Celery Stalks diced
