3. What can we do with... The Onion? |
|
|
|
3B - Onion Powder! |
|
|
|
If your onions from last year are starting to look worse
or you simply have too many onions in the fall, consider
making onion powder so that nothing is lost. |
|
|
|
Ingredients : |
|
|
- White onions or red onions or yellow onions.
|
|
|
|
Note : |
|
|
- Use yellow onions for a stronger flavor, white
onions for a milder taste, or red onions for a
sweeter flavor. You can mix all types of onions
together!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Directions : |
|
|
- Peel the onions.
- Cut the onions into
quarters.
- Put the quarters in a food
processor and roughly chop.
- Put parchment paper on the
trays of your dehydrator.
- Spread the onion on the
trays, ¼ inch thick and as uniform 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 clumps and cut your pieces to
the desired size.
- Put in a coffee grinder to
obtain a nice fine powder.
