What is the correct spelling of this word? It's one I hear on the
television from time to time, used to describe a base of (typically)
onions, carrots & celery, sweated gently. I've never seen it in
writing so I've no idea how to spell it. The above spelling produced
just one food-related reference on Google, so I don't think it's
correct; but no other spelling that I could think of showed up at all!
Thanks,
KF

It is mirepoix. It is traditionally 1/2 onion, 1/4 each carrot and celery.
mirepoix is the correct spelling.

A good way to look these things up is on foodnetwork.com, use the search
topic feature. In this case, a search for mir* brought up a list of topics
that included the one of interest.
