Dried kibbled onion is made from dehydrated onions. It can be used in any recipe that requires fresh onion and is excellent when added as a dry rub or in a marinade. When time is limited, its a practical replacement, although the flavour may not be as intense as its fresh counterpart.

There are other advantages to having a container on hand:

No need to worry about making a special trip to the store when you are out of fresh onions.

No oil is required for cooking.

No teary eyes when slicing and chopping.

When theres no time to chop onions, dried minced onion is one option. Substitute 1 tablespoon of minced onion for one medium chopped onion. For the best onion flavour, use dried minced onion. One tablespoon of dried minced onion equals 1/4 cup minced raw onion.

Storage Tips

Like other seasonings, it can be kept in a cool, dry spot for several months.

Always be sure the container is tightly closed.

Include a dash in gravies and sauces.

Add to breads: it is a tasty addition to buttered and toasted baguettes or slices of French bread.

Sprinkle over salads or add a dash to cooked vegetables.

Stir into soups and chowders.
