I knew there was a phrase or word for it but I heard a long time ago … I learned it from my mom who was taught by French Canadian cooks, I also saw it in lots of French Canadian recipes and it was all reinforced when I noticed the same thing with recipes I learned from Italian cooking (from Italian Canadian friends who were descended from northern Italy)
For me its frying
Onions, celery and carrots
basically a great start to lots of dishes
This is called a mirepoix and the base of a lot of French cuisine. I agree that this combo is amazing

Chefs even call that combo the holy trinity
I’ve only ever heard that term used in Cajun cooking, where it refers to onion, celery, and bell pepper.
The version with carrot is mirepoix.
Ah thanks for correction
