Idea to transform onions from your vegetable
garden into a consumer product |
|
|
After the harvest season or simply when a particular
Alliaceae crop is ready for harvest, one may find
themselves with an abundance of raw material.
Kevin Prescott presents his techniques and recipes for
transforming this top-quality raw material to promote
improve its self-sufficiency.
In this article,
Mr. Salut! shows us how he practices food
self-sufficiency by transforming onions from his
vegetable garden into onion flakes. |

3. What can we do with... The Onion? |
|
|
|
3C - Dehydrated minced onion or dried minced
onion or onion flakes! |
|
|
|
If your onions from last year are starting to look worse
or you simply have too many onions in the fall, consider
making dehydrated miced onion (flakes) so that nothing is lost. |
|
|
|
Ingredients : |
|
|
- I recommend using red onion. The taste is by far
the best with its sweet character.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Directions : |
|
|
- Peel the onions.
- Cut the onions into
quarters.
- Put the quarters in a food
processor and chop roughly.
- Put parchment paper on the
trays of your dehydrator.
- Spread the onion on the
trays, ¼ inch thick and as evenly as possible.
- Put in the dehydrator at
125 °F until the onion is completely dehydrated.
*The time varies depending on several factors
(ambient humidity, food humidity...).
- Put back in the food
processor to eliminate any clumps and to cut your
pieces to the desired size.

Use : |
|
|
Sprinkle everywhere on your dishes (salads, spaghetti,
etc.). With its sweet side, it can even be eaten
directly. It's really good!
*For decorative use,
use a thin mandoline instead of a food processor and
place in a single layer on the dehydrator tray without
overlapping. |
