Raw Flax-Tomato Crackers (Dehydrated) image

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!

Tips

  • Choose the right flaxseed meal. For the best results, use golden flaxseed meal, which has a milder flavor than brown flaxseed meal.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your crackers the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crackers tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to handle and will help prevent the crackers from sticking to the rolling pin.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the crackers. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy.
  • Let the crackers cool completely before storing them. This will help them to crisp up even more.
