Last week I told you about a new online meal planning site, Real Recipe Plans, that will send you 5 gluten, dairy and soy free meal plans each week.
Today I have another recipe from there to share.
I must admit that I haven’t had a chance to try this one yet, but it looks so good that it’s on my list for this week!
Real Recipe Plans – Quinoa Sushi
Author:
*Tip: A great soy-sauce alternative is to use your favorite salad dressing as a dipping sauce! Balsamic Vinaigrette would be super delicious here, just sayin’!
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Quinoa
- 2 medium beets
- 1 orange, peeled and chopped
- 1 Fennel head, halved and sliced very thin
- 2 T. cilantro, chopped
- 4 sheets Nori (sushi paper)
- Salt and Pepper (S&P)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepot, add Quinoa to 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for another 8 minutes. Strain and let cool. Fluff with a fork and season with S&P to taste.
- Using a box grater, carefully grate beets on the large grating side and set aside on a large plate. Add the chopped orange, fennel and cilantro the plate as well. (This is your sushi prep!)
- Set a piece of nori down on a clean cutting board and spoon ¼ of the quinoa onto the nori, pressing down to about 1/8” thick. Leave the farthest end of nori free of quinoa (this will help when you roll it up).
- Now that you have the quinoa down, add ¼ of the remaining ingredients (grated beets, orange, fennel and cilantro) in the middle of the sushi roll. Be careful not to over-fill the sushi roll!
- Starting with the side closest to you, gently roll up the sushi and squeeze firmly as you go. Set aside and repeat with the remaining Nori sheets.
