Nori Roll Recipe

Ingredients:

Sunbutter Mixture:

  • 1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked
  • 1 cup almonds, soaked
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons dulse
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sage, minced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

Rolls:

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 beets, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 large carrots, sliced
  • sprouts
  • Nori sheets

Directions:

  1. Soak the sunflower seeds and almonds. Soaking is important as it will make them cream up nicely in the blender with the other ingredients to make them spreadable.
  2. Add sunflowers seeds and almonds to blender.
  3. Add lemon juice, dulse, tamari, and sea salt
  4. Blend all of those up. Keep some water on hand to make sure you get the right, creamy, spreadable consistency. Scrape down the side a couple times to get it all blended.
  5. Add herbs and spices. Marni uses some tarragon, sage, oregano, and ginger. Ginger really brings in the Asian flare you want. Lemon grass would be good too. Play around with the spices a little each time you make these. Blend again to mix these herbs and spices in.
  6. Lay your raw, organic nori on a cutting board, shiny side down and rough side up.
  7. Cut up your sushi-imitating veggies now. Avocado, beets, and cucumber work well, but you can try other veggies too, like shredded carrots, sprouts, jicama, radish, and more. Make a Mediterranean roll with tomatoes, olives, and balsamic vinegar. Make a dessert roll with fruits. There are millions of combinations.
  8. Spread on the sunbutter mixture, and then layer in on the vegetables. Layer from the bottom to make rolling easier later. Roll from the bottom and use the spread to glue the nori together.
  9. Gently cut with a serrated knife. You don’t want to squish them.

Enjoy the beauty and the flavor. So much nutritional power and deliciousness packed into each bite!
