|
3A - Onion Salt! |
|
Ingredients : |
|
- 10 lb of onion
- 1.36 kg of salt (pickling salt if you're
fermenting)

*Salt at about 50% concentration. Useful to know for
precise measurement in seasoning and fermentation
purposes.
**Yellow onions will give more flavor
to your recipes. |

Directions : |
|
|
- Peel the onions.
- Cut the onions into squares.
- Put the quarters in a food processor and blend
into a puree/paste.
- Preheat the oven to 250°F.
- Mix the salt into the puree/paste.
- Spread the mixture onto two baking sheets lined
with parchment paper.
- Dry in the oven for 4 hours or more, stirring
every 15 minutes (if it is not completely dry,
continue until it is well-dried).
- Allow to cool.
- Put the mixture back into the food processor to
grind into a fine powder.
- Transfer into a spice jar.
