- 1 cup almond flour (ground, / cracklings / chicharrones, 100 g / 3.5 oz - you can make your own)
- 1/4 cup flax seed meal (ground, / cracklings / chicharrones, 100 g / 3.5 oz - you can make your own)
- 2 large eggs (ground, / cracklings / chicharrones, 100 g / 3.5 oz - you can make your own)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (ground, / cracklings / chicharrones, 100 g / 3.5 oz - you can make your own)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (ground, / cracklings / chicharrones, 100 g / 3.5 oz - you can make your own)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F.
- Place the pork rinds into a blender.
- I'm using my Kenwood mixer with a food processor attachment.
- I used home-made pork rinds from pork skin I get from my local farmer.
- When I don't have any left, I sometimes get pork rinds from here (no affiliation).
- These must be the only pork rinds made with pure pork skins (no additives) here in the UK.
- Pulse the pork rinds until powdered.
- If there are any hard skin bits left, remove them before mixing with the other ingredients.
- Place the powdered pork rinds into a mixing bowl together with the almond flour and flaxmeal.
- Add salt (if needed) and mix until well combined.
- Crack in the eggs and process until well combined using your hands or a dough mixer.
- Separate the dough into 8 pieces and press into 8 mini tart pans like these or a regular tart pan.
- Place baking paper on top and use ceramic baking beans to weight the dough down.
- You will need them to prevent the dough from rising and creating air bubbles, especially if you are making a large pie.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- When done, remove from the oven and fill with your favourite filling (meat, eggs, cheese, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, etc.) and place back in the oven.
- If not using straight away, let the pie crust cool down.
- Once chilled, store in an airtight container.
