For future reference, when using the slicer on your food processor, lift the entire oval part out and feed your veggies through the oval opening using the oval plunger to push the veggies down on the blade. The smaller round hole and plunger is for feeding liquids and small bits like garlic into the processor.

I just made a gallon sized freezer bag of mirepoix (50% onion, 25% celery and 25% carrot) to put in the freezer for future soups, stews and casseroles. It takes 15 minutes to do, saves time when cooking and is always ready for a quick soup for dinner. I love doing this and have done it for years. I also freeze chopped onions but never considered freezing carmelized onions. That will be a project for tomorrow. Thanks Becky!❤️

Hi everyone, Debbie Lavigne here. I made the curry soup recipe from Becky last evening. OMG, so delicious. My husband really enjoyed his dinner. I actually made the exact same salsa verde as Becky did two months ago. It's a fantastic recipe. I do have a similar recipe for caramelized onions that you freeze. The difference is the addition of bacon. We like it on hamburgers. I believe it's called a onion and bacon jam that you freeze. I'm enjoying learning new things in the kitchen. Have a great day.

FYI lesson on tomatillo stickiness. I found an article online that states, "Turns out that this sticky substance is a natural deterrent against insects. If any insects get through the papery husk, the tomatillo’s first line of defense, they encounter the sticky film. This film contains chemical compounds called withanolides that insects find bad tasting. So voila, they leave the tomatillos alone!"

Becky, read the manual of your Cuisinart. My machine looks the same as yours except white so it may be a different model, Anyway, if you pinch the back of the feed chute, it releases the pusher making an opening big enough for your onions. I use my pressure canner to water bath process as well. Like you say one less big piece of equipment I don't have to store. The advantage of using the pressure canner is there's no need to empty and clean the stock pot before you can begin processing.

Becky. Hi. My name is Wendidawn. I am new to your program. I am loving it. I have never canned and my husband does the garden but my goal for 2024 is to learn to do both myself. You were talking about what you were going to do with you already harvested raised beds. Im very much a visual learner. Do you have any videos on how you started your planting beds and physically show how to build and raise them, plant them, bed them, etc? Thanks!

That's interesting. I've never heard of adding sugar to make caramelized onions. I only add butter.

Hi Becky! I just wanted to share that I grew cherry tomatoes this year with an abundance of tomato powder in mind. We were able to enjoy some for snacks and salads but having a plan for their preservation made it even more exciting to grow them. I used the sun gold and Juliet varieties because I wanted a fun sweet end product and it worked! I also dehydrated lots for ‘sundried’ tomatoes too. Thanks for sharing your kitchen adventures with me!

What do you use tomato powder in?
@Scrappadeedooda 7 ай бұрын
Hi @@leighdegenhardt485 ! I use tomato powder in soups, sauces, and even dried seasoning/spice mixes. I’ve put some in a bowl and added a little water to it and it turns into tomato paste. With that in mind, if I add it to my soup or tomato sauce dry it will also act to thicken it up. I love it. (Not to mention, the sun gold powder is almost like a powdered candy… so yummy!)

I have learned the shockingly poor quality of US food and the US-americans deserves clean and safe food like we have in Europe. So to see this beautiful woman cooking clean and good food is amazing! In addition, Becky looks like my stunningly beautiful and clever daughter-in-law

I was surprised that you put the raw onions directly in the freezer bags. I always assumed they'd freeze into a hard chunk, so I always froze my onions on a tray first, then put them in freezer bags. -Sharon

If that happens I bash the bag against a cupboard or fling on the floor (as long as the opening is securely closed) and they usually break up fine. Save yourself a step.

When you’re cooling something on a plate like those onions, Clear a CZirkle in the middle and you have cut in half the size of the platter of onions. That way they cool from the center and the sides.

You can open the plunger and place onions on the blade. Just leave enough space to push plunger in far enough to trigger the processor to turn on. It will work much better. That is how I shred cheese. 😊

Trick for you-make "Toasted Onion Powder" after you dehydrate or freeze dry your onions, toast them lightly brown in the oven before you grind. Completely changes the flavor profile and it's aha mazing! I even put it on a regular turkey sandwich. It's a game changer tho and I promise you'll love it. Do it with garlic as well. I get dried minced onion from Costco for a quick batch cause I can't live without it.

Great timing! I took out my tomatillos last week and need to get them all out of the freezer. But I'll be roasting/broiling mine...I love the smoky flavor that imparts to the salsa. And yes, the purple ones will turn faded green when cooked, plus they have never been as productive for me so I stopped growing them.

If you save the root section piece of your onions you can replant them to have more onions without it costing you again. Just keep them and plant them when you get several or a bunch of the onion roots. You will always have onions. I keep mine and my husband replants them and it saves us money along the way.
