Mainly salt, dehydrated vegetables, and MSG, it has no relation to Vegeta of Dragon Ball Z fame (though it’s similarly powerful to the Saiyan Prince himself). Vegeta lends a savory and umami taste to just about anything, and you can find it online and in most Eastern European delis.

Cumin & Coriander: I think you can create an authentic middle eastern recipe without this two. You'll always find one with the other. Aleppo pepper: ok, this may not be the easiest ingredient to find. So, feel free to swap it with regular chilli flakes or cayenne. A word of caution with the cayenne you'll need to reduce the amount unless you want it really spicy. The benefits of making your own are many! You’ll save money and eat fresh dehydrated veggies!

Choose the powder, not the salt variety. When your dish misses "that something" to round the taste...add one spoon of Vegeta, a unique mixture of spices enriched with several kinds of dried vegetables.

Oven Dehydrating Tip:if your oven settings don't go down to 175°F, you can preheat your oven to 300°F then turn it off and place the vegetables in. Allow the vegetables to cool down in the oven then remove the sheet pan and keep repeating the process until the vegetables are dried. Ginger: I will omit, I'm not the biggest fan of ginger in my cooking but it very harmonizing in many spice blends and it gives this blend an elevated flavour note that would be missed if left out. Dehydrated Vegetables-like carrots, parsnips, onions, potatoes, and celery are used for this recipe. I generally use equal amounts of vegetables. Vegeta Producers Podravka Open Factory in Africa=".

To my mom, Vegeta is like salt and pepper. She and my grandmother always have a bag of it in their pantries, and they use it in anything from stews and goulash to iconic Serbian dishes like cabbage rolls, known as sarma, and ćevapčići, the minced grilled meat that’s loved throughout the Balkans. In my family it’s a spice cabinet staple along the likes of paprika and dried dill. This vegetable seasoning is made of all the mixed vegetables found in the original spice blend. The types of vegetables you use are completely up to you to create the taste you are going for. So, feel free to mix and match any fresh vegetables that you have on hand.

Storing Vegeta: Another way to use the seasoning is in fried rice. Regardless of how many vegetables and seasonings you add to fried rice, there’s no harm in adding more of that savory goodness. I like to add it in after the rice has been added to the pan and broken up, so it can coat the rice and bloom in the oil, but not long enough to burn.In a blender add 2 cups of dehydrated vegetables and 1/4 cup of dried parsley. Blend until coarse crumbs form. This is how to make Vegeta Seasoning at home with a step-by-step tutorial.
