Raw Sushi



I have always been a big fan of Sushi, however I am over the fish thing & even more so by what we are doing with our over consumption of fish & to our oceans!! This is actually yummier than raw fish & you do not get that residue smell of fish post meal always a good thing.
This is from Shazzie’s book ‘Evie’s Kitchen’ she got the recipe from chad @ www.rawchef.com
You will need
Equipment 
A blender to make the cauliflower rice
a sushi roll matt but not essential
Ingredients
Sushi Rice
3/6 cups of Parsnip & or cauliflower (adapt to how many you are feeding)
1/2 cup  pine nuts (very expensive at present use less rather than more)
3 table spoon of flax oil or hemp oil
1 tble spoon of toasted sesame oil
1 tble spn of Mirin rice vinegar or apple cider
1 tble spn sea salt
1 tble spn chives or spring onion (optional)
black/ white sesame seeds.
Sushi Vegetable Maki rolls
Nori sheet (Seaweed sheets can buy in most Asian shops)
parsnip cauliflower Rice
Red & yellow peppers
cucumber
avocado
Shiitake Mushroom (pre marinated in olive oil & tamari)
Tamari & Wasabi to serve
To make 
Place  nori sheet on a clear clean surface, spread a few tble spoons of the rice evenly across 1/3 of sheet leave space at top & bottom to roll. assemble choice of vegetables in a a layer on top of the rice & roll tightly.
Once in a roll use some of the marinate from the mushroom to wet the seaweed & seal your roll. Once  the roll is tidy cut into small Maki rolls about an inch apart. (looks so pretty)
Place on a serving dish (preferably in Asian theme) 
I served with some lightly steamed adami beans (can buy in frozen department of most Asian stores) with Miso soup & condiments Tamari  with Wasabi, if you really want to go to town you could make some ginger.
Eat fresh or put into the fridge to sit & serve later.
This is a kid friendly sort of novelty supper. Coco loved this & the whole Japanese experience.
