I am in awe of a new cookbook that has come out titled The Rawsome Vegan Cookbook – A balance of raw and lightly-cooked, gluten free, plant based meals for healthy living.  It is by Emily von Euw and offers super simple recipes that feature whole foods.

Today I am reviewing the cookbook and sharing one of my favorite recipes, Sushi Maki Rolls.  It is ingenious where traditional cooked rice is substituted with cauliflower.  Rice is wonderful but sometimes you just want a lighter dish and skip the grains.

Sushi also works great for get-togethers and parties.  An appetizer that is easy to handle whether it is dipped of not.  Set it out on a table and watch the finger food disappear.

Ingredients

Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 1/2 cups cauliflower small head
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon stevia powder

Fillings

  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 bell pepper
  • 3/4 cup carrot large

Other

  • 4 nori sheets
  • Peanut Lime Sauce

Peanut Lime Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter 22 g
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter 22 b
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice 10 mil
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free tamari 15 ml
  • 3 tablespoons water 44 ml
  • 4 leaves fresh mint
  • 4 leaves fresh basil

Instructions

  1. To make the rice: Process the cauliflower in a food processor until it becomes a bunch of little crumbs.
  2. In a bowl. stir in the rest of the ingredients, by hand, with the cauliflower.
  3. Julienne all of the vegetables (in other words, cut into small strips)
  4. For each nori sheet, spread on 1/4 of the rice evenly, leaving one edge of about 1/2 inch (1-cm) without rice.
  5. Sprinkle a little water on this edge when you roll up the sheet, starting from the opposite side.
  6. This will help everything stick together.
  7. Arrange a few slices of avocado, pepper and carrot.
  8. Roll up tightly and cut with a sharp knife.
  9. Serve with the peanut sauce.

Peanut Sauce:

  1. Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth, adding more water if you need to.

Recipe Notes

My note: To make ahead - after all of the rolls are set on a plate - dot the tops with lime juice to keep the cauliflower and avocado from turning brown. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

Sushi Maki Rolls are easy, light, raw and there are no grains. From the new cookbook by Emily von Euw, The Rawsome Vegan Cookbook.
 

The cookbook is divided into two parts: raw and cooked. Each recipe has a beautiful full color photo.  Something that is very important to me.

Here are a few recipes that are next on my list:  Summer Rolls, Rawsome Pizza, Onion Cornbread Sandwich and Yam Fries Forever.

  9. Yummy! These look amazing, Ginny! I’ve already seen a recipe for cauliflower sushi in one of the vegan cook books I got (waaaay too many actually ;-)), but I haven’t tried it yet. It’s about time to change this! 🙂

  12. You can make sushi rolls in 30 minutes?? I never knew! I thought it takes ages to prepare and then another lifetime to roll up everything! Will deffo look deeper into this recipe, thanks! 🙂

  18. I so want this book. Emily’s recipes are awesome and I love the idea of this cauliflower rice sushi. It just so happens that I have a pack of nori that I have been meaning to use for ages. I need to try this!

  22. I was JUST looking at Emily’s book this week and I’m so excited to make stuff from it. I have all her books now and am such a fan. This sushi looks incredible and I agree, what an amazing idea to put cauliflower instead of rice!
