Raw Spicy Flax Crackers



About this recipe:
These raw crackers are the bomb, they travel well and will keep for a long time under airlock. They are full of essential fatty acids. Recipe easily doubles or triples. I got it from a book called 'Raw Food, Real World'.


This recipe requires a dehydrator.

Ingredients:
• 1 c. raw sunflower seeds, pre soaked 1 hr or more
• 1 c. raw almonds, pre soaked 2 hrs or more
• 1/2 c. sun-dried tomatoes, pre soaked 1 hr or more
• 2  red bell peppers, cored and finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, cored and finely minced
• 2 c. raw flax seeds, finely ground
• 1/2 c. lime juice
• 1 T. cumin powder
• 1 T. chili powder
• 1 T. mineral salt
• 2 large handfuls of mixed fresh herbs, finely chopped

1. In a food processor, place sunflower seeds, almonds and tomatoes. Pulse to chop.
2. Add the red bell pepper and jalapeno, flax seed, lime juice and spices. Combine well.
3. Add fresh chopped herbs.
4. Using a silicon spatula, spread the mixture out thinly onto four dehydrator trays lined with Teflex sheets.
5. Dehydrate at 115F for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
6. Flip the sheets over, peel away the liners. Score with a pizza slicer.
7. Dehydrate for another 6 hours until crispy dry.
8. Store in airtight container.
