Onions
Even if you always use fresh onions, dehydrated onions are
great to keep on hand for those times that you find your fresh onions have
turned to mush or you've run out just when you need them the most. White
onions have the flavor of a sweet, raw onion, without the sharpness of fresh
onions, making them nice for those who like the flavor of onions without
the bite. Toasted onions, soft brown in color, have a "French Onion" flavor,
very nice for soup, or on pork roast, tuna casseroles or pot roast. Toasted
onions have many loyal fans, and they are back by popular demand. Try some
and you'll see why so many people love them.
To make ¼ Cup of fresh-like onions: Spoon 1 rounded TB. onion
into a measuring cup. Add ¼ cup cool water. Let stand 15 min to rehydrate.
Drain extra water. Most dishes have enough liquid to rehydrate the onions
with no problem, but when adding to bread dough, omelets, etc. it is nice
to rehydrate the onions first.
