Super Easy Red Wine And Seed Crackers

Crackers made with wine. Yes, my seedy wine crackers are the perfect nibble to have with your glass of vino of an evening. Add some nice cheese and you really are good to go.

Cheese and crackers are a quintessential part of any supper party or drinks party spread. They end a meal beautifully or soak up alcohol when guests roaming for nibbles at a cocktail party.

Crackers are even better when you are just curled up by the fire on a cold winter’s night with a glass in one hand and a plate of these tasty crackers with cheese in the other.

My seedy wine crackers hit the spot perfectly and believe it or not this recipe dates back to Roman times.

Baked with wine

These red wine and seed crackers aren’t just crackers to serve alongside wine, they actually contain red wine and lots of seeds of course.

I like to nibble them instead of crisps with a glass of wine so therefore cut them as very small rounds about one inch in diameter.

Ingredients for these Seedy Wine Crackers

All you need for this recipe is ground flax-seed and plain flour for the base.

Olive oil, red wine and milk for the liquid element.

Crushed black peppercorns and sea salt for seasoning.

And some extra sesame seeds or crushed nuts to press on top for that gorgeously crunchy element.

How to make red wine seed crackers

It really is just a case of throwing everything into a big bowl and stir it all together to make a dough, let it rest in fridge to firm up for half an hour then roll out, press on seeds or nuts (or both), cut out and bake. It’s as easy as that.

This is a recipe from my Naughty & Nice Edible Gifts For Christmas Ebook.

I’ve now just finished all my talks and demos for Christmas with the last SWI talk being last Wednesday on one of the wildest and wettest nights of the year. I’ve been working out just how much food I’ve made on stage in the past 6 weeks;

18 bottles of Medieval Wine

18 jars of Quick Preserved Lemons

18 bottles of Basil & Vanilla Oil

18 half kilo jars of Tipsy Toms

300 Sugar Free Mocha Treats

Now I’ve just got all my own little goodie bags and hampers to make up for friends and family for Christmas.

    They look lovely, and much healthier than cheese and onion crisps … although those will always have a place in my life 😉
