Since making this sushi and taking it to work for lunch I’ve had a quite a few requests to share the recipe so here goes, a perfect healthy summer lunch.
Ingredients
500g raw cauliflower florets
.5 – 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Sea salt
1 tablespoon tahini (this helps the rice to stick together)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (to make your own click here)
3 nori sheets
Your choice of fillings, for example
120 – 150g cooked shredded chicken, tinned tuna or smoked salmon (or omit for a vegan option)
1 carrot or cucumber
half an avocado
60g raw rocket (or baby spinach for a milder flavor)
Tamari and chilli sauce (to serve)
Instructions
Heat a fry pan over medium high heat and add coconut oil
Meanwhile to make your rice put the cauliflower florets in the thermomix mixing bowl and chop 10 sec / reverse / speed 4
(if not using a thermomix you can chop the cauliflower using a food processor or box grater)
Tip the cauliflower rice into the fry pan and lightly fry for 4 to 5 minutes
Remove from heat and stir through tahini and a pinch of salt
Let that cool while you prepare your remaining ingredients
- Combine the chicken (or tuna, or salmon) with the mayonnaise
- Chop the carrot in thermomix 3 seconds / speed 5
- De seed, peel and slice the avocado
- Roughly chop the rocket or baby spinach
Put a nori sheet on the bench and top with a third of the cauliflower rice, spreading it on the half closest to you and out to the sides. Layer a third of the filling ingredients across the middle of the rice and starting with the edge closest to you, tightly wrap the roll to the end. Repeat with the remaining 2 nori sheets and filling. Cut the rolls into round pieces ready to serve with tamari or chilli sauce.
