PALEO SUSHI

Recipe: Whole30 Sushi

Makes 2 sushi rolls, which can be cut into 4 or 8 pieces each.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados
• 4 large hard-boiled eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar (optional)
• Pinch of salt
• 2 nori sheets
• Filling of choice

Process:

1. Peel the avocados and hard-boiled eggs and toss 'em all together. Mash with a fork if you can, but between you and me, I wound up using my (clean) hands. We want it to be chunky, not complete mush.
2. Add vinegar and salt and stir to combine, if necessary.
3. Place your nori on a bamboo rolling mat, or a sheet of plastic wrap if you don't have a mat. Place a layer of the avo-egg mixture on 2/3 of the nori. Try to get down to the edges, unlike me.
4. Place your filling in a vertical line on the sushi roll.
5. Begin to roll up the bamboo mat and nori as shown. This takes a little practice. You may wet the end of the nori to make it stick, if necessary.
6. Cut the sushi roll in half using a sharp knife. Then cut each half in half, and repeat once more if necessary. You'll have to be gentler with this roll than traditional rice sushi – it is squishier and more prone to getting smashed. Because my knife was not very sharp, I only cut this roll into four large pieces.
7. Serve immediately to ensure crisp nori, but I kept these in the fridge for a day and they were still tasty. Unfortunately, the avocado tends to get grayish brown as it oxidizes, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad! Experiment and eat up! Oh, and don’t forget the coconut aminos!
