Southwest Flax Crackers

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1/2 cup julienned sundried tomatoes
    1/2 cup flax seed
    2 cloves garlic, pressed
    1 small jalapeņo, seeded and minced
    1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/4 cup ground raw sunflower seed
    1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:

Soak sundried tomatoes for at least 1 hour in just enough water to cover them.

Soak flax seed for at least 2 hours in just enough water to keep them from clumping.

Put sundried tomatoes and soaking water in a blender pitcher.  Add garlic, jalapeņo, cilantro, and olive oil to pitcher.  Blend until you get a slightly chunky paste.  Pour tomato paste into a bowl and stir in flax seed, ground sunflower seed, and sea salt.

Spread on teleflex sheets and dehydrate at 105 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 hours.  Using a knife, carefully cut into squares.  Continue to dry for and additional 6 hours.  Flip crackers and dry until crisp.  I generally dehydrate for a total of about 18 hours.  You can use more or less jalapeņo, depending on your taste.

i just got these into the dehydrator. i tasted some of the dough and it was really good! i look forward to these when they are done.

changes: i used dried pepper (i dried them myself when i bought a TON at the co-op last summer) and ground flax. for ground flax, i added it to the tomato "paste". i added a little exra to get a nice consistency.

I am taking a raw foods class.  Just ordered my dehydrator.  Can't wait to try this recipe.

This is my favorite way to make flax crackers
Always get compliments on them

Only thing I do different even though it makes really no difference

I do not soak anything before hand. Flax seeds seem to work fine using them as is.
Also did not know about soaking dried tomato's. Undecided
It more of a patience thing with me

I don't have a dehydrator yet, so I baked these in the oven.  They didn't get quite crisp enough (they turned out more like pita bread), but they are still flavorful.

I didn't have a jalapeņo, so I added a 1/2 of a teaspoon of red curry paste for some spice.  Yum!
