Matignon (cuisine)
In cooking, a matignon is a mirepoix in which the ingredients are minced rather than diced, and more flavorings added. Matignon, unlike mirepoix, is not a part of the food preparation itself, but is always served at the table. Ingredients Matignon is a combination of evenly diced vegetables, usually onion (and/or leek), celery, and carrot, with thyme and bay leaf, sautéed in butter over a low flame until softened and translucent ("melted" but not browned), seasoned to taste with a pinch of salt (and a pinch of sugar, if needed), and finished with a dash of white wine or Madeira. The vegetarian version is referred to as ''maigre'' ("lean"). When ham or bacon is added, it is called ''gras'' ("fat," i.e., containing meat).The terms ''maigre'' and ''gras'' refer to the traditional Roman Catholic prescription of days for abstaining from meat during Lent Lent (, 'Fortieth') is the solemn Christianity, Christian religious moveable feast#Lent, observance in the liturgical year in pr ...
