What do you do with the skin of an onion? Normally i will cut them in half and peel it off and throw it away. Man, what have i been missing? Thinking about trying a new smoking rub i pulled out a brisket. I started pulling all the spices down but i didn't have onion powder. So i had to run to the store to get some. Later that day i started making sides and I had to cut some up. It got me thinking about how to make my own. I grabbed all the skins did some research and found i could use my dehydrator. So i took and laid all the skins from the onions that i had cooked and placed them in for about 6 hours at 150 degrees. After that i took them out and started in the mortar pestle and started to grind them. after about 5 mins i gave up and grabbed the spice grinder. Took seconds. came out with a fine powder that tastes exactly like the store bought. Yea well looks like i am saving all my onion skins to make powder going forward.
