Title: Flaxseed Meal/Flour as Breadcrumbs?
Post by: morgan on May 23, 2012, 11:17:06 PM

Umpa - is it possible to use the flaxseed meal/flour as breadcrumbs?  I love tuna patties, I'm swapping the mashed potato in them with mashed steamed cauliflower - think that should work.  Tuna, little onion, egg, S&P are fine, it's just the breadcrumbs that are the sticking point.  Other than that I thought perhaps crushed GGs.

just my opinion but I think you could use crushed pork rinds too

Pork rinds work great as bread crumbs ;)

I am odd man out here because I do not eat pork rinds ~ I DO use flax meal in my meatloaf and in my tuna or chicken patties and it works GREAT and adds a nice amount of fiber....

I use flax meal, too. Sometimes, I add a touch of soy flour or almond flour.

I like a mix of both porkrinds and goldenflax when I deep fry fish or make salmon patties ;)

Thank you for your suggestions everyone - decided on a mixture of goldenflax and pork rinds.  Great combination and looked just like breadcrumbs.  Tasted great too.
