food.
WOW !
Equipment needed:
High power blender such as a Vitamix or
Blendtec
Dehydrator:
such as an Excalibur
Ingredients:
• 1 cup flaxseed (ground) soak overnight
• 1 Bell pepper rough chopped
• 2 large tomatoes rough chopped
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 to 1/2 of small onion
• 1 Tbsp or more oregano (fresh or dried … I used dried)
• Water enough to make it thin (2-3 cups or more, added 1 cup at a time) Batter should be runny but not drippy.
Mix all ingredients in vita-mixer. Start slow and bring it up slowly. Blend for 30 seconds or so. Stir in a few flax seeds just for decoration. Drop by tablespoonfuls on sheet (4 across). They will look high but they thin out as they dehydrate. Temperature 105.
After you turn them the first time, sprinkle sesame seeds (or whatever else you’d like) on them. YUM !
Ideas/comments and suggestions: These chips turned out wonderful the very first time
I made them. They take anywhere from 12-16 hours to fully dry. Do not turn them too soon.
I will update this post the next time I make them which will be soon and tell you how long on each side. They are scrumptious and my husband said “get them away from me or I’ll eat them all”. The batch made a lot of chips. Next time I’ll tell you how many, but easily enough to feed a crowd or us for a few weeks. You could, of course change up the spices to suit your taste.
They are wonderful. Thank you David.

Did you Know?
* Green peppers are not ripe and they are hard to digest. Use red/yellow/or orange.
* Black pepper made from peppercorns that are green, not Ripe, they dry them and that’s how they turn black. These “un-ripened” seeds are very hard on the digestive system. But red & white pepper is made from ripe peppers.
* GARLIC BREATH! Removing the little green part in the center of the garlic will eliminate garlic breath. WHY? Well, our bodies can not properly digest it, and it therefore creates garlic breath. Simply cut the clove in half and remove the green little seed looking part. It only takes a second. By the way I have noticed that not all cloves have this green little part, so don’t go crazy looking for it.
Place screen back in dehydrator until crackers reach desired crispness.
