New to Flax meal and Textured soy: your favorite recipes?
Hi everyone,
I just bought myself an electric coffee grinder. Big deal, right? Actually, I wanted to try out flax meal recipes and you cannont find flax meal where I live. But I can find golden Flax seed quite easily in organic supermarkets. So now, I made flax meal on my own, and it is really a great product. First thing I did is a pizza crust: best LC one ever ! Now I'm discovering textured soy protein. I could'nt resist tro try and put some in my new grinder. It resulted in something looking quite like soy flour. I deduced that what was not tasty in soy flour was the fat. Because I can have Textured soy right out of the bag, as a snack, but you wouldn't make me eat a spoonfull of full fat soy flour for the world. Anyway, I'm searching the web for nice recipies, with ingredients I could find in western europe. I thought I could ask what were your favourite recepies with those 2 ingredients (Flax meal and TVP).

New to Flax meal and Textured soy: your favorite recipes?
Hueyduck, I'd advise searching this newsgroup through groups.google.com, as
there have been many such recipes posted over the years. Googling in general is also a good strategy. Personally, I don't use TVP hardly ever. I do like to use ground flaxseed in my breakfast shakes - makes them really thick, plus adds EFAs and fiber without any real taste. I also sometimes grind a few big spoonfuls and add to ground beef and other ingredients for meatloaf. Sorry I can't help more than that. HG "Hueyduck" wrote in message ...

As I said, I did this already ;-) I haven't spent too much time googling the newsgroup, though. I actually found some ideas. But most of the recipie using TVP are vegan non LC ones. As for Flax meal recipies , there are , most of the time, "hard to find" ingredients in the recipies. (hard to find in western europe, that is) I also sometimes grind a few big spoonfuls and add to ground beef and other ingredients for meatloaf. That's an original and simple idea. I'll try this. Thanks for answering, Hannah. Huey |

Flaxmeal Pizza crust

Could you post the pizza crust recipe? I started qith this recipie: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/breads/r/flaxpizza.htm but I made it my own : - 175g golden flax meal - 25g pure gluten powder - 8g dry yeast (reactivated in 2 tbs of tepid water qith a pinch of sugar ) - 3 medium eggs - 17g olive oil - the equivalent of a tbsp of sugar (splenda, for instance). - 1 pack of leavening powder - salt to taste As little water as needed. No water worked for me. Mix the dry ingredients, then mix qith the liquid ingredients. The dough quickly becomes hard to manipulate, quite sticky. Put the dough in the middle of the oven cooking surface and spread it with the back of a spoon until it has the desired surface and thickness (about 0.5cm) Let the dough breath a little in a warm and moist place and go on with a regular pizza recipe. I think oregano would be nice but I hadn't any at the time I came up with this recipe. I used this to make a flammekueche as well. Basically, you just garnish a thin pizza crust with cream, minced onions ans lardons (little bits of bacon). Quite a succesS. Huey |

My husband can not have gluten, so we make our pizza's without a crust. Here is a recipe from one of my friends. Crustless Pizza 4 oz. cream cheese (room temp.) 4 large eggs 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh onion ½ teaspoon minced garlic ½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning 4 cups shredded Italian Blend cheese (or mozzarella) ½ cup pizza sauce Pizza toppings (whatever you like) Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 metal baking pan (can use Pam spray) Blend together until smooth the cream cheese, eggs, cream, parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, and oregano. Scatter 3 cups of the shredded cheese in the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and bake for 30 mins. Remove from oven and spread with the pizza sauce. Scatter your pizza toppings over the top, the cover with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese. Turn on broiler and broil about 6 inches from the heat until brown and bubbly. Let sit for 5 minutes or so before cutting. Makes 6 servings. Becca |

My husband can not have gluten, so we make our pizza's without a crust. Actually, I tried it again yesterday, but without gluten. I had added it more by habit than by need. It worked perfectly. Actually the recipie could be shortened by quite a bit: Mix eggs with flaxmeal and salt+leavening agents until you get a sticky dough. Spread with the back of a spoon until it's thin enough. Et voilà! ;-) That's what I did yesterday. Here is a recipe from one of my friends. Crustless Pizza Thanks. I'll keep it for my "experiences" days Huey |

My doctor thinks flaxseed oil and flaxseed meal should be added to everyone's diet. I know it has omega-3 fatty acids, but I am not sure what else it can do for me. She believes everyone would live a longer and happier life, if they just added flaxseed to their diets. Becca |
