Your choice of fillings, for example

120 – 150g cooked shredded chicken, tinned tuna or smoked salmon (or omit for a vegan option)

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.
