A healthy snack idea: The Mediterranean cracker with cheese and tomatoes

August 10, 2009

Here a single idea to choose a snack that mix all the Mediterranean in a cracker

It’s a product of the Barilla Group that I buy in Italy.

gran pavesi mediterraneo

Ingredients:

  • Wheat flour
  • Tomato (20%)
  • Not hydrogenated vegetable fats
  • Extra virgin olive oil (2,8%)
  • Salt
  • Cheese grain (Parmesan) (1,65%)
  • Barley flour
  • Oregano (0,5%)
  • Natural yeast
  • Eggs

Nutrition information for 1 serving (1 ounce)butritional information for the cracker

  • 135 Kcal
  • Protein 2.8
  • Carbohydrates 21.2
  • Fat 4.3

I’ve tried to search how to find them in the U.S. but nothing.

So if you want to cook them at home here how to prepare a cracker.

Preparation:

  1. Put all ingredients in a blender until fine crumbs.
  2. Transfer to a small bowl.
  3. Add cheese to blender until smooth.
  4. Return flour mixture and process until ball forms.
  5. Roll out dough thinly.
  6. Prick dough all over with a fork.
  7. Cut crosswise into equal strips.
  8. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes.

Is this supposed to be a recipe? _Which_ ingredients? Are we to guess from the package? Vegetable fats? “Cheese grain”? Eggs? How much? Eh?

He He Riley, sorry.

The ingredients are these:

* Wheat flour
* Tomato (20%)
* Not hydrogenated vegetable fats
* Extra virgin olive oil (2,8%)
* Salt
* Cheese grain (Parmesan) (1,65%)
* Barley flour
* Oregano (0,5%)
* Natural yeast
* Eggs

Quantity depends on your needs. Here you can see the proportions.

To have an idea consider that 5 crackers are 1 ounce.

- Vegetables fats = Margarines
- Cheese Grains = What in Italy we call Parmiggiano or Grana Padano see here
- Eggs = 2 Raw eggs to put in

Let me know if you need more info.

It’s hard to take this website seriously because of the bad grammar. Please….an healthy snack? It’s A healthy snack and a few more that are very obvious.

I’m sorry Nancy for the grammar error, but I’m Italian and not a professional english writer…

I don’t think that if I write “an” instead of “a” the principles of healthy eating change…not?

If you didn’t understand what I wrote please let me know and I’ll try to correct.
