Here is something I just "invented." Very handy in all types of cooking. A very nice, subtle flavor. My spice jar is labeled LAP. Leeks and (bell) peppers. Start with Mother Earth Products: Dehydrated leeks and dehydrated bell peppers. 100% natural, no added ingredients. (Two items that you just may want to keep on your shelf. They also have tomato dices.) Into my new spice grinder. Now a powder. Great combo for pasta, eggs, potatoes, chicken, etc. I looked at buying leek powder but it is hard to find, large size only, and costs a lot. I can mail you a sample if you send me a Tree Mail. Gene
