Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse using the S blade until they resemble rice.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non stick frying pan or cast iron skillet. Fry the cauliflower on a low/ medium heat for 5 - 6 minutes until al-dente. Remove from the pan and allow to fully cool.
  3. Prepare the veggies. Slice the cucumber and pepper into thin strips, discarding the seeds. Slice the avocado.
  4. Dry fry the sesame seeds in a non stick pan for 4 - 5 minutes on a low - medium heat until golden. Allow to cool.
  5. Once the rice has fully cooled, place in a bowl and mix with the cream cheese or mayonnaise, vinegar and sesame seeds.
  6. Place the nori on a bamboo mat or clingfilm. Add the rice, leaving about 1 cm at the two opposing seal edges. Layer the cucumber, pepper, avocado and smoked salmon and once edge and tightly roll using the mat. Brush the sealing edge with a little water and press to seal. Slice into rounds with a sharp knife and repeat for the second roll.

Notes

  • This recipe yields 2 rolls, about 6-8 slices each, suitable for two servings.
  • The cauliflower rice can be made up to a day in advance and stored airtight to save preparation time on serving day.
  • If you don't have a bamboo rolling mat, place the nori sheet on clingfilm to assist in rolling tightly.
