Jars of seasonings can be a costly addition to your grocery list. Many are willing to bear the costs to ensure their dishes are seasoned well. However, there might be an affordable way to add flavour to your meals at home.
A woman, known as @northwestleftist on social media, shared one of her best money-saving hacks making her own onion powder. This flavouring is a dehydrated, ground spice derived from onions. It boasts a powerful, savoury scent and gives dimension to diverse meals.
By providing an intensified taste without the dampness or mass of fresh onions, it's a nifty seasoning for dry marinades, dressings, soups, and dips. Tiny jars of this powder cost approximately £1.10 at Sainsbury's , which might seem inexpensive.
But if you're buying multiple spices in each shop, it all adds up. So to combat this, the foodie explained the straightforward way to create it at home if you're already buying fresh onions. The technique not only saves cash, but it also prevents viable ingredients from ending up in the bin.
The woman received over 53,000 likes for her video, where she reveals: "Any time I cook anything with onion, I save the skins to make like a homemade onion salt seasoning bag." She was caught stuffing onion peels into a bag until it filled up before teaching her followers how she does it. She further stated: "I will save all of the dry, gross pieces that you don't want to use in your meal.
Save every single little scrap, and spread it all out evenly. "Don't forget to.
