Flax Seed Crackers

My friend Heidi gave me the instructions for these delicious crackers. They are really easy to make, and add an interesting twist to an appetizer. Serve them with fresh goat cheese or hummus - your guests are bound to love them.

Ingredients:
2 cups whole flax seed
2 cups water
Optional - 3/4 cup pumpkin or sesame seeds
Optional - 3/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 to 2 cups diced onion
1 tbsp curry
1 tbsp cumin
1 tspn sea salt

Directions:
- Soak flax seed with equal amount of water 4 to 24 hours. Soak any other seeds you choose in extra water for at least two hours then drain.
- Slice as much as two cups onion. Mix the gooey flax with other drained seeds, onion, and salt.
- Spread onto dehydrator trays and sprinkle with more salt. Dry until crisp, about 6 hours. This makes four square feet about 1/16" thick. Break into bite size pieces and store in mason jars.
Note: instead of using a dehydrator, you can place the mixture into the oven on low (170 degrees F) for 6-8 hours.
