Dehydrating food question

[imsohesh]

Hello I am new to dehydrating food and am looking to dehydrate "mole rojo" a Mexican recipe. I was wondering, do I have to dehydrate all the ingredients together and blend them? or make the mole and dehydrate the sauce itself? Thank you for your response!

I just spent a few weeks dehydrating about 30 or so ingredients, to make some just-add-water (boiling), soups/stews for trail or hiking food.


I found out it is a messy thing, all those jars, powders, spices, spoons and then if you dehydrate separately, for sauces, you have to do a lot of figuring how much fresh is how much dry.


I made two sauces, one was a no-cheeze recipe (potatoes, carrots onions flavorings), and one a no oil mushroom gravy. Then thinly spread on parchment, on dehydrator trays, then dry, then grind, and they rehydrate just great.


I'd say, make the sauce then dehydrate it.
