Raw Light Garlic, Groat and Flax Crisps
Flax crackers are an all time favorite. We came up with the following recipe to try to lighten them up a little. The buckwheat is a great addition and adds crunch and "airyness" (if that could be described). Plan a week ahead of time for the buckwheat groats if you don't keep them as a staple. This recipe is a base for whatever flavor you prefer. If you have a favorite spice, add it. They are the lightest, crispiest raw snack we have tried......very addictive!
As you can see they were 1/2 flax and 1/2 groats. (Less flax to get stuck in your teeth!)
Soak and sprout 2 cups of buckwheat groats for 2 - 3 days until you see tails on the seeds. Dehydrate until dry.
Soak 2 cups of raw whole flax seeds for at least 4 hours (we do them overnight)
1 tablespoon Himalayan sea salt (or equivalent)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon favorite seasoning (we used salt free spike)
Place dried groats in food processor with S blade and process until reduced by 50%. Place soaked flax in large bowl and add powdered groats and all other ingredients. Mix by hand until stirred. Place approx two cups on teflex sheets and spread as thin as possible. Dust with salt or other seasonings again. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for approx 2 hours. Check the crisps occasionally and remove from teflex when firm. Lightly salt again if needed and continue to dehydrate until crispy. Approx 6 hours. Filled two 1/2 gallon jars. Note: For defined shapes, score the crisps when spreading. We don't usually score our crackers and chips, we like them all different sizes.
Note: The buckwheat groats are a "staple stash" that Rene Oswald wisely suggests we keep. Watch some of her videos or, better yet, purchase her recipe book (you won't regret it, its HUGE!). It's the idea of soaking, sprouting and dehydrating all of the common raw nuts and seeds so you always have them on hand. It makes recipes much faster and allows much less forethought as we usually use them in that form anyway. Mike from simplyrawrecipes.com suggests a staple stash of pre-soaked fruits like raisins, dates and figs kept in the fridge so they are always ready for recipes. It's ideas like these that make raw unprocessed foods easy to prepare.
