Coconut Curry Nori Rolls (Raw Vegan)

Peace! Here's a new recipe from earlier today...

Ingredients:

3 raw nori sheets

2 handfuls spinach

1 handful fresh basil

1/4 small onion

1 small tomato

1 lemon

1 cup cashews

1-2 tablespoons olive oil (or coconut, flax, etc.)

1-2 tablespoons shredded coconut

1 tablespoon (or more to taste) curry powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

sea salt (optional)

black pepper (optional)

Preparation:

1) Chop up the spinach, basil, tomato, & onion into small pieces & set aside.

2) Grind up the cashews into a powder. Combine in a small mixing bowl with olive oil, curry powder, paprika, sea salt (optional), black pepper (optional) & the juice of one lemon. Mash it up until it forms a nice buttery paste.

3) Spread the paste on the bottom 1/4 of the nori rolls & top with spinach, basil, tomato, onion, & shredded coconut as pictured.

4) Roll it up! Use a little bit of water on the end of the nori sheet to make it stick together.

5) Chop it up into bite sized pieces & start feasting.

OPTIONAL: Brush the top of the nori rolls with water & throw some sesame seeds and/or shredded coconut on the top.

ENJOY!

**The most important part of this recipe is the curry powder. Make sure you use a kind that you enjoy as different brands vary in flavor. Simply Organic makes a great one & that's what I used for these.

***If you don't have cashews - use sunflower seeds.

New Recipe------------->

Peace. If you end up trying the homemade sushi recipe from last night, here is something you can do with the leftover nori sheets. This one is inspired by Chef BeLive...


Ingredients:

nori sheets
cashews
sunflower seeds
strawberries
arugula
cilantro
alfalfa sprouts
lemon
olive oil
sea salt
garlic powder
paprika
bowl of water


Directions:

Finely chop the arugula & cilantro separately. Chop the strawberries as well & put them all off to the side.

Grind cashews & sunflower seeds (2 parts nuts to 1 part seeds). Place in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil & mad lemon juice. Stir until it becomes a paste. Generously add sea salt, garlic powder & paprika to taste, but don't OD because the strawberries will compliment later.

Spread the paste on the nori sheet, leaving a couple inches on the end farthest from you. Then add the alfalfa sprouts & arugula in the same fashion. Add the cilantro & strawberries to the middle only as pictured above & then roll up like a sushi roll. Remember to wet the end as you finish rolling so it sticks together.
