Chia Seed Wraps (Epic Fail)

This recipe is very simple to make but not worth the effort, time, dishes to clean after making it, or the flavor. Using a lettuce-wrap is far superior to the poor taste of this “wrap” AND it may be unhealthy, too. Why? While the wrap is cooking, before it full dries out enough to eat (if you try you will soon discover the wrap is still chia-seed slime in the middle) it starts smoking like bad oil burning. It doesn’t taste like it burned, but it looks like its having a problem with heat. Cooking another one on a lower heat, didn’t prevent that from happening.

Wet, even after cooking, flexible, but it tastes like slimy chia.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Cup Water
• 1 Cup ground chia seeds
• 1 pinch salt

METHOD:

1. Begin by placing 1 cup of water in a pan over medium heat.
2. Add a pinch of Real Salt.
3. Meanwhile, while you are awaiting the water to boil, grind 1 cup of chia seeds into powder.
4. Add the powder to the boiling water and stir vigorously.
5. Divide the resulting dough into 4 portions.
6. Roll 1 portion at a time between two layers of parchment paper.
7. Cook in a dry, well seasoned pan. Turn when finished cooking on one side. Enjoy.

NOTES:

• there are a number of pinterest pins of this “wrap” and also several channels with videos of this being made.
• my original thought was that perhaps adding some soy sauce or liquid aminios to the water, before it boils, and adding a small amount of ground caraway seeds may make this taste like a rye bread flavor. i didn’t try it.
• the pan needs to be very well seasoned as otherwise this dry cooking method will cause the wrap to stick to the pan and cause an awful mess.
• its hard to get this off the parchment paper after rolling it. it sticks. it sticks to its self.
• the end result is a rollable, foldable, bendable wrap which tastes exactly like chia seeds.
