Recipe

Gluten-Free, Vegetarian


Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups flaxseed (linseed) meal
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger or ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Method


  • Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a baking tray.
  • Combine the flaxseed meal, sesame seeds, ginger, turmeric and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg and then slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream while still whisking. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to form a firm dough. If it is too dry to roll out, add some filtered water.
  • Roll out the dough on a sheet of baking paper to a thin rectangle about 25cm×35cm. Place the prepared baking tray face down over the dough, then invert both together so the dough is in the middle of the tray and the paper is on top. Peel off the baking paper and cut the dough into 5cm squares using a sharp knife.
  • Bake for 15-20 mins until crisp. Allow to cool completely before eating.
  • Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
