Mirepoix Powder

Published: Dec 20, 2017 · Modified: Oct 30, 2019 · by Healthy Canning

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A “mirepoix” is a French cooking term for a combination of onion, carrot and celery. The combination is used as an aromatic base to many dishes.

This mirepoix powder lets you add the flavour of that combination in an instant, using vegetables that you have preserved with your home dehydrator at the peak of their taste and freshness in season.

What a luxury on dreary, mid-winter week nights, to add this gourmet-level touch to your dishes without all the prepwork that would normally be required.

Makes a great gift for foodie friends, too.

This recipe uses:

  • Onion powder;
  • Carrot powder;
  • Celery powder.
