HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN NO SODIUM VEGETA SEASONING


INGREDIENTS:
3 medium onion, peeled and cut in 2 inches cubes
6 celery ribs, diced,
3 potatoes, peeled and diced,
3 big red bell pepper, seeded and diced,
3 big yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced,
3 big orange bell pepper, seeded and diced,
3 big green bell pepper, seeded and diced,
3 large carrots, diced
10 garlic cloves, peeled,
1 bunch fresh parsley;

DIRECTIONS:
Using a food processor or grinder, process all vegetables in no particular order.
Place the vegetable mixture into a strainer and let release the moisture for 1/2 hour.
To speed the process, use a cheesecloth to squeeze out the moisture.
Spread the vegetables onto baking sheets and bake for 4.1/2 to 5 hours an 175 F.


Let cool, and use the food processor to crush the baked vegetable mixture. Process longer if you want more powdery looking; makes 2 cups.
You can use this "Condiment" on any dish you like; soups, rice, potatoes, stews...

    1. Well, 3 yrs after the asking but I'm suggesting based on experience with other blends that it keeps up to 6 months if stored air-tight in a cool, dry place out of direct light. That's fairly standard. However, that is thinking that you don't use it all up before that. Ah hah!

  13. Thank you so very much. I am most happy to find this recipe. In fact, when I saw how it is made I knew I was going to use the same technique for several other "seasoning" recipes I need to make.
