The growing season is finally over where I live and I've been cooking up a storm with the ingredients I have. Additionally, I have been drying herbs in the house so I have the benefit of their flavours over the rest of the year. There are hundreds of herbs which can be dried, frozen or dehydrated, but I'm only going to talk about a few of them in this post as I will be discussing others as I use them or grow them over this upcoming year.
I've tried a few different ways to store my herbs and I've learned a few tricks. You can use a dehydrator on certain items, such as onions and garlics and solar drying (baking them in the sun) works well with Tomatoes and Peppers. I will Freeze certain types of Herbs, such as the Large Leaf Basils, but to save on freezer space and for convenience, I'm happiest to air dry my herbs.
I consider dried vegetables as a Spice as they add extra flavours. I will add extra dried and ground vegetables to soup stocks, breads and recipes if I have the ingredients at my disposal.
