Southwest Flax Crackers

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1/2 cup julienned sundried tomatoes
1/2 cup flax seed
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 small jalapeño, 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, jalapeño, 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 jalapeño, 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 jalapeño, so I added a 1/2 of a teaspoon of red curry paste for some spice. Yum!
