RAW FLAX-TOMATO CRACKERS (DEHYDRATED)



Raw Flax-Tomato Crackers (Dehydrated) image

Years ago, I bought a bag of raw crackers at my local cooperative. After trying them I thought, I can make these myself, so I gave it a try. The thing I love about these goodies is you can change the flavour by changing the herbs you use. They are not cooked so be prepared to dry them for at least 8 hours. I live in a dry...

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!

I bought a bag of raw crackers at my local health food store and thought, "I can make these" so I gave them a try and I think the finished product was pretty good. At least my DH thought they were.

Time 8h25m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup golden flax seed (soaked for 2 hrs. in filtered water)
8 sun-dried tomatoes, pieces (soaked for about 1/2 hour)
1/3 bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 paste tomatoes (raw and chopped)
1 medium red onion (chopped)
1 garlic clove (put through a garlic press)
1/4 cup herbs (your choice)
salt and pepper
paprika or cayenne, to taste

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients except the soaked flax into a food processor.
  • Process until well combined.
  • Removed the mixture into a bowl and using a small hand mixer on low mix the flax seeds into the tomato mixture. You want the flax seeds in tact.
  • Spoon the mixture onto the teflex sheets of your dehydrator and using an off set spatula spread the mixture about 1/8 inch thick to within 1 inch of the edges. You don't want it too thick or thin. Experiment with this part to your likeing. I made it too thin at first and the crackers were very brittle and hard to remove from the teflex sheet. Do this until you use up the mixture.
  • Dehydrate for at least 8-12 hours at about 110'F.
  • Its very dry where I live so 8 hours was enough. You should flip these over at some point as well and dry for another 8-12 hours if necessary.
  • As you make these again and again you can change the herbs for a different taste.
  • These would be delicious with a slice of tomato or avocado. You could also crumble them up for a nice topping over a green salad.
  • Bon Appetit!

RAW UNBAKED HONEY RAISIN FLAX CRACKERS

Delicious and crispy, these crackers may entice you to eat too many. But remember, these are flax crackers and will give you that get up and go feeling if enough are eaten. They are great with Renee's raw cream cheese (in Living Cuisine, Renee Loux Underloffler, ISBN=1-58333-171-9).

Time P1DT2h

Yield 120 1 1/4, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup flax seed, soaked in 1 cup water for 1 hour
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup raisins, soaked in 1 cup water for 15 minutes
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup ground sesame seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Blend soaked flaxseeds (with any remaining water) on high for several minutes until most of the flaxseeds are broken. Add raisins and raisin water and continue until raisins are broken up. Add honey (or maple syrup), garlic, and salt, When well blended, add ground and whole sesame seeds. Spread mixture fairly thin onto drying sheets. I spread one and a half cups of mixture onto 12" x 18" thin plastic sheets available in cake supplies and a glass table with a lamp on the floor to check the thickness. Thin crackers will be crispy whereas thick crackers will be chewy. Put cracker sheets in dehydrator at 110 degrees (or on cookie sheet in oven at lowest setting and door open). Remove after about 2-4 hours and score crackers for breaking and return. Flip crackers onto screen as soon as they can be handled without breaking (after about 6-12 hours) and return until crisp (another 12-24 hours). If crackers are allowed to stay on plastic sheets too long, they will stick like glue!

FLAX SEED CRACKERS



Flax Seed Crackers image

I heard that if you mix flax seeds with an equal amount of water, soak them, and spread them thin, you'll get a tasty cracker. I heard right! These have a nutty, earthy flavor. They're light, but still sturdy enough for dips and spreads. Experiment with other seasonings if you like.
