Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Okay, all you raw chefs out there, I need help with this recipe I'm thinking of, so I'm going to ask a couple of questions: When you soak flax seeds, you get kind of a gooey, thick paste-like substance. Do you get the same results when you soak sesame seeds? The sesame-honey candies that I am so very, very fond of have sesame seeds, honey, sugar/sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. Not good. If I soak sesame seeds, then add honey (how much?), then dehydrate the mix (how long?), would I get something like the candy? Would I need to add any other ingredients to get the correct consistency? Actually, I am thinking of adding ginger, but for flavor rather than consistency. It just sounds yummy to me! So, what I'm thinking for this recipe (and I'm kinda working off Alissa Cohen's flax seed cracker recipe, here): 2 cups of sesame seeds, soaked honey (but how much? 1/2 cup? 1 cup? 1 tablespoon???) ginger (1 tablespoon, maybe) 1/2 lemon, juiced ('cause that's what's in the flax crackers, and I'm not entirely sure it's for flavor) What do you think? You think it will work? Carolyn It is said that the Devil has all the best tunes. This is broadly true. But Heaven has the best choreographers. -- Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, " Good Omens " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
