Vegan Sushi

It feels as though we've been making a lot of RAWcipes using nuts. Since we both live fairly active lifestyles it's not really a concern. And in the grand scheme of things, it's a fair way of getting protein. However, a tasty dish without nuts is a welcome change. Enter sushi. This was easy to make, and I inhaled hoovered up every last bit. It's probably a good thing I didn't have company to watch me violate that plate of food.

What you'll need:

2 Raw Nori Sheets

1 Avocado

1 Red Pepper

1/2 Cucumber

1 Carrot

1 c. Sprouted Alfalfa

1/4 c. Apple Cider Vinegar

3 tbsp. Tamari (gluten free)

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp. Lime Juice

Bamboo Mat

Plastic Wrap

1)Soak julienned carrots in apple cider vinegar for 2 to 3 hours 

2) Thinly slice the red pepper, cucumber and avocado

3)Layer your veggies as you choose. I did:

  Sprouts, cucumber carrots and red pepper

4) Roll tightly using bamboo mat

5) Layer Avocado on top of roll and place on sheet
of plastic wrap

6) Fold plastic over top, and form avocado around the sushi roll you've made

7) Use the bamboo mat to press down firmly to further form and keep avocado in place

8) Using a sharp knife, cut in half, then cut those pieces in half and so on...until you have 8 even pieces.

9) Carefully remove plastic wrap and arrange on plate

10) Mix tamari, garlic and lime

Enjoy!

Pseudo Sushi

I cheated. But actually not really. Today I fly out to see Kent (insert excited squeal here!). Today's been a flurry of final packing, work and everything else in between. Basically what I'm trying to do is use all that as an excuse not to have brought a home made meal for lunch...and hey...that's ok (pats self on back). Luckily there's a farmers market near me with a great raw vegan restaurant. Check out Healthy Funky Foods if you're ever in my neighborhood.

This psuedo sushi w/ginger tamari was just right for lunch. Accompanied by an apple, ginger, lemon, wheat grass fresh juice - you really can't ask for much more for Friday lunch.
