I found these online via Dr. Oz and I have to try them soon! I normally try to post recipes I have actually made, but I couldn’t wait to share this one. This is a great one for those who are doing a cleanse or want to get some detoxification benefits. I added my comments in italics.

Vegetarian Nori Rolls with Nut “Rice” 

Serves 2

Ingredients
  • 1 cup soaked sunflower seeds (for a couple of hours or more; I often soak them overnight)
  • 1 cup walnuts, soaked in pure water for 2 hours (or longer)
  • 1/4 red onion
  • Chopped fresh herbs (your choice, I guess; I like basil and oregano for their anti-inflammatory and anti-viral/anti-bacterial benefits)
  • 1 packet of nori wraps
  • 1 carrot, cut into very thin strips
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 avocado, cut into strips
  • 1/4 red cabbage, finely shredded
  • Sprouts
  • Wheat-free Tamari Soy Sauce
  • Wasabi
  • Fresh ginger
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp water
Instructions
  1. To make the “rice,” place the sunflower seeds, walnuts, onion, and herbs in a food processor. Process for 2 minutes, or until nut mixture has the consistency of rice. Set aside.
  2. Thinly slice the ginger and marinate in vinegar and water.
  3. Take a sheet of nori and spread one-fourth of the rice mixture onto it.
  4. Lay carrot, cucumber, red cabbage, avocado, and sprouts over it.
  5. Roll the nori up tightly, using a sushi mat if you have one.
  6. Cut the roll into about six pieces, using a sharp knife. Repeat for three more nori sheets.
  7. Serve wraps on a platter with ginger, wasabi, and wheat-free tamari.
