Time 8h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c golden flax seeds (soaked 2 hours in filtered water)
8 large sun-dried tomatoes (soaked 1/2 hour in filtered water mixed with tamari or shoyu)
1/3 large bell pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea-salt
2 large paste tomatoes (raw and chopped)
1 medium red onion, (chopped)
1 large garlic clove (pressed)
1/4 c dried herbs (your choice)
salt and pepper
paprika or cayenne to taste

Steps:

1. NOTE: The flax seeds, once soaked should be very gooey in texture, that's exactly how they should be.
2. Put all the ingredients EXCEPT the flax seeds into a food processor.
3. Process until well combined.
4. Remove the mixture from the food processor and on low add the flax seed until well mixed. You want the flax seeds in tact.
5. Using an off-set spatula spread a large scoop of the mixture onto a teflex sheet. The mixture should be about 1/8-1/4" thick. Not to thick or thin. If it's too thin it will crumble, if it's too thick it will take a long time to dry, so try to get it fairly close to the suggested dimensions.
6. Once you've used up all the mixture dry at 110'F for 8 hours. If the crackers aren't dry enough flip them over and dry for an additional 6-8 hours. You should open the dehydrator at the 6 hour mark and test them. If the gooeyness is gone then they are ready.
7. I leave mine in a big bowl on the counter so we can sample them all the time. They are so good and good for you too.
8. Enjoy!
