So sticking with the cracker theme I thought I would try a Gluten free option and found a recipe for Red Lentil Crackers. Who knew lentil flour would be so easy to make. I just whizzed it up in the Nutribullet. The original recipe had Ghee as the fat.. you could use butter, but I used coconut oil. I sprinkled on sea salt and chilli flakes before baking. And the herbs could be left out if you don't have them. Again just add what you like, I might add cumin seeds next time!
GF Red Lentil Crackers (It's a slightly adapted one from www.eatliftbe.com)
Ingredients
● 1 1/4 C (175g) Dry Red Lentils
● 1 tsp Salt
● 1 TBSP Chia Seeds
● 2 TBSP Butter (I used coconut oil)
● 1/4 C Tap Water
● 6-7 (23g) Garlic Cloves - crushed (or garlic powder)
● 1 tsp Dried Basil
● 1 tsp Dried Thyme
● 1 Large Egg White
Instructions
● Grind Lentils into flour by using a blender or food processor or other blending
tool you have. I used my Nutribullet and it worked brilliantly.
● Place lentil flour and all other ingredients into a bowl.
● Use a fork to mix all the ingredients until everything is well combined. Roll the
dough into a large ball.
● Place ball on a baking paper and another layer of paper on top, and begin
delicately rolling out with a rolling pin, glass, or your hands. Be very delicate
with this. Do not press hard. Try and make as thin as possible.
● Once you have rolled as much as you can, without the dough continuing to
break transfer the dough to a baking tray and peel off the top layer of paper.
With your hands, continue to spread dough to the edges of the tray, working
from the inside out. You can bake whole or cut into strips.
● Bake at 180 degrees C for 15-20 minutes. Crackers may shrink
slightly and start to brown.
