The following recipe for Mock Soylent Green Hardtack Crackers is from SurvivalBlog reader L.E., who notes: “You can also experiment with making Soylent Yellow and substitute orange juice for the beer, and use yellow split pea powder and yellow lentil powder, and substitute mushroom powder for the seaweed, and sugar and cinnamon/nutmeg for the spices.”
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup green lentil powder
- 1/4 cup split pea powder
- 1/4 cup powdered seaweed
- 1/2 cup beer (adjust for consistency)
- 1 tablespoon onion powder and/or garlic powder
- Soy sauce, to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
Directions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, lentil powder, pea powder, seaweed, and salt and spices. Mix well.
- Add Beer: Gradually add beer to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Adjust the amount of beer to achieve a workable consistency.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and prick all over with a fork. Use a gingerbread boy cookie cutter for that “human” touch.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- Cool and Store: Let the crackers cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
