Raw herb crackers

Raw herb crackers

This is an awesome recipe that i found in a book call 'Everyday raw' which was lent to me by a friend of mine. It has some awesome recipes in it, this one is super easy and the crackers are so so so yummy!! I have all the herbs used growing in the garden so this is a super practical recipe for me. 
Almond meal you can buy in bulk from the Industrial estate at Santos, i have found it is a lot cheaper than buying it anywhere else. 
The recipe can be halved if you do not want to make such a huge amount, i often do this as i live by myself and like to eat fresh!! Remember that flax seeds go rancid once ground fairly quickly.
 A great recipe for vegans as it contains nutritional yeast which is high in vitamin b12.

Ingredients:

4 3/4 cups of Almond flour
A selection of raw foods, the crackers are on the right hand side,
1 cup of oat flour
1 cup of flax meal
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons of salt 
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cups of water
2 teaspoons well chopped oregano
4 teaspoons well chopped thyme
4 teaspoons well chopped rosemary

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Spread very thin on Teflex sheets, about 1 cup per sheet.
Cut with a pizza cutter to desired size, recommended 8 down and 8 across in the book but u can go with whatever size u want here.
Sprinkle with sea salt.
Dehydrate 2 days approx
Transfer to dehydrator screens and dehydrate until crispy.
Cool and store in air tight containers


* Once you have made them once and have got used to the consistency of the 'batter', you then can add some nuts and seeds to the mixture. I have tried adding sunflower seeds and sesame seeds, i added about 1/3 of a cup of each and just added a little more water to compensate for the extra ingredients.......i really like the sunflower sesame addition to the crackers.

* I also have made a batch using almond, cashew and walnut meal instead of just the almond meal, use the same amounts but u can play with the ingredients a little....these were also a success and had a nice flavour too!!
