COrn CHips

[Guest guest]

I have made a few different batches of corn chips. I try not to make them too

often cuz I eat them all.....LOL ..

 

My major downfall in life has ALWAYS been chips and salsa. I love to eat

chips and salsa or guacamole or bean dip (still working on a raw substitute for

that)

 

So the one major thing I crave is chips. SO when I went raw, it was the one

thing that was very hard for me!

 

SO I have played with the recipe for raw chips for the last month or so....( I

work at home so I have time to play with my dehydrator a bit)

First let me say that, I am one to play with recipes. I never seem to have

everything I need in the house for this recipe or that recipe. So...I improvise

a lot!

 

but with my chips here is what I usually do

 

Throw all of the following into a food processor/blender/whatever you have!

 

4 cups or so of corn--shuck it right off the cob

1/4 cup olive oil

sea salt to taste (optional)

1/2 cup soaked flax seed (optional- it helps with bonding the chips better

when available--soak 2 hours--chips will work with or without them)

some chili or jalapeno or red pepper (optional--I add it when I have it for

flavor)

Handful of fresh cilantro (optional)

Garlic (optional)

cracked black pepper (optional)

Cayenne pepper (optional)

crushed red pepper (optional)

 

Whirl it all around in your processor of choice until it is a slightly thick

and well blended-----add 1/4 cup water at a time till thin enough to spread on

teflex.

 

* Add water slowly as this mix thins fast and easily.*

 

Spread on teflex sheets till about 1/4 thick....when spreading mixture, it may

help you to have a glass of water with a spatula handy. I keep dipping my

spatula in the water and then spreading the mixture, then dip then spread....it

makes it easy to spread the mix and get it even and avoid the little dips and

holes.

 

I do not score the mixture (yet)

 

I let it dehydrate for a few hours first. after about two hours, I open the

dehydrator and tuck all the edges of the mixture on the sheets with my wet

spatula. this is also when I score the mixture into chips...using a wet spatula

you can split the mix to make it into chip shapes of your choice.

 

Then I let it dry until the " chips " can be separated from the teflex with out

ripping. then I turn them over and place them directly on the racks to finish

drying!

 

Then I dry them until crispy!

 

I find if you add enough herb and seasoning, they come out really good--
