Nice! I will do that. One kid can’t eat them, or peppers, but we had chili last night & I was missing those ingredients.
Actually, I think I might can a few jars of tomato sauce with those ingredients so we can add a scoop to whatever finished dishes we’d like them in.
Cooking for family allergies/sensitivities. Fun, right? 
You can soak things for an hour or so in water, juice, or broth if cooking time will be brief. We’ve done the smaller potatoes in chicken curry that simmered less than an hour & they were good. Not the same texture as regular potatoes, a bit denser. I liked them.
We’ve done jerky, it was fantastic. A bit too good though, difficult to ration & nobody needs to eat that much meat protein at once 
What sort of dehydrator do you all have? When purchasing, it wasn’t too much more for the biggest unit so I opted for a 9 tray Excalibur with reflex sheets. I would like to pick up a small circular unit for those time when there is just one tray of something left & it’s a waste leaving that big thing on overnight just to finish drying it out.
