These crackers are delicious with cheese or dips.
100 g Quinoa seeds (white, black, red or a mix)
50 g Chia seeds (white or black)
70 g Water
10 g Sesame seeds
Salt, to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F
1. Place the quinoa and the chia seeds into the TM bowl and grind for 30 sec / speed 9
2. Add 70 g water and the sesame seeds and mix for 6 sec / speed 6 to make a stiff dough
3. Roll small balls of the dough between non-stick paper or a folded-over silicon mat to create circles 1mm to 2mm thick. Place on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 5 minutes, or until just golden. When cool, store in an airtight container.
Variation : Make mini taco shells by slowly bending just cooked-warm crackers over a chopstick or fat pencil, then drape them over the TM rim to cool. Served the tacos with finely diced sashimi tuna, tossed with diced avocado, shoyu and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
