Raw Flax-Tomato Crackers (Dehydrated)

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. 1

   Put all the ingredients except the soaked flax into a food processor.

2. 2

   Process until well combined.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Dehydrate for at least 8-12 hours at about 110'F.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   As you make these again and again you can change the herbs for a different taste.

8. 8

   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!
