Re: Garlic and oniom powder

[Guest guest]

Hi M.C.,I just take my onions and/or garlic, peel them, slice them and lay them out on the trays of the dehydrator. My dehydrator has a setting for herbs, that's the one I use, and just let them go until they're dry. It usually takes a couple of days but it will depend on how thick you slice them....the thinner they are, the faster they will dry. I try to shuffle the trays a couple of times during the process. I test them by mashing on them and if they're still soft or spongy, they're not ready yet. Once they're dry and after letting them cool, I put them in the food processor until they turn into powder.Take care,Kim H.husband, , CD 1999SCD 2002 Garlic and oniom powder

Can anyone post the recipes for legal garlic and onion powder?

ONION POWDER (LSCDL Recipe)

Buy and peel two 5 pound bags of yellow

onions.

One bag is chopped and put in 1/2 cup containers or in zip top bags and goes in the

freezer.

Need an onion, grab a box or bag, let it

defrost for a few minutes, and use. Slice the other bag very thin with a very

sharp knife.

Lay out on dehydrator trays or on

parchment covered cake cooling racks.In the dehydrator, dry at around 135*F.

until onion is dry and snaps.

In the oven, heat at the lowest temperature

your oven has until onion is dry and snaps.Place dried onion in blender or food processor and process until powdered.Store in a zip lock container with a food safe

moisture absorbent pack

*GARLIC POWDER (LSCDL Recipe) Buy and peel about 3 pounds of fresh garlic.

When done peeling, there will about 2

pounds of fresh, peeled garlic. Put one pound goes in a large Ziplock box

and goes in the freezer.

Then you can pop out a couple of fingers, let

them defrost for a few minutes, and then

press and use.

The frozen garlic presses easier, and more

completely, and because the cell walls are

broken by the freezing, get more flavor with out the, "zing!" that garlic sometimes has.The other pound is sliced very thin with a

very sharp knife.

Lay out on dehydrator trays or on

parchment covered cake cooling racks. In the dehydrator, dry at around 135* F,

until onion is dry and snaps.

In the oven, heat at the lowest temperature

your oven has until onion is dry and snaps. Place dried garlic in blender or food

processor and process until powdered.Store in a zip lock container with a food

safe moisture absorbent pack.

If you are going to peel and slice more than

2 to 3 pounds, buying thin, light rubber

gloves at the drug store to protect your

fingers is a good idea. Permission by Wizop Marilyn L. Alm

ONION POWDERSlice onion very thinly and place on parchment lined cookie sheet in singlelayer. Turn your oven to lowest possible temp. Mine goes to 170F, but thereare models that can go even lower. It takes few hours for the onion to dryout. Onion took much longer to get dry then garlic (like 7 -10 hrs). Whenthe onion crisps up, cool and grind in coffee grinder. Store in a glasscontainer with the lid in the fridge. Or use a dyhydrator.Monika mysuit@...

Kim, this sounds like a great idea. I have a few questions.

How much does this make? (How many onions/garlic cloves vs. how much

powder it makes)

How do you store the powder?

Also, how long does it keep?

Thanks so much!

Hi Kathy,

I've never really measured. My dehydrator has 5 round trays. I usually put onions on 2 trays and garlic on 3. I just keep peeling and slicing until the trays are full.

I store it in the fridge in little spice containers I got from Bed, Bath and Beyond. They hold 3.7 oz. and I usually get about 3/4 of a container of garlic and about 1/2 of a container of onion. I don't know how long it will keep. I've never had any go bad. I would think it would keep for quite a long time.Sorry I couldn't be more precise.

Take care,
