Pineapple sushi
For sushi, you need rice, nori sheets, ginger and pineapple. Ahem – wait a minute! Pineapple? Yes, of course, we are getting creative with our sushi. That’s why our pineapple sushi smells wonderfully fruity and particularly delights all veggie lovers. Sometimes, it’s simply worth thinking outside the box. Fortunately, culinary art knows no bounds!
Ingredients
1 pineapple
6 tbsp white wine vinegar
Chilli flakes to taste
A pinch of salt
20 g sushi ginger
300 g wholegrain risotto rice
2 avocados
4 nori sheets
3 tbsp wasabi
2 chillies
½ punnet of daikon cress
Edible flowers if desired
1–2 tbsp black sesame seeds
Soy sauce
Also:
A sushi mat
Directions
- Peel the pineapple and cut out the core. Cut ¼ of the pineapple into small matchsticks. Mix and puree 2 tbsp of vinegar, chilli flakes, salt and ginger. Add the pineapple sticks and marinate for 2 hours.
- Rinse the rice, cover with two finger-widths of water and simmer for approx. 40 minutes. Season the rice with 2 tbsp of vinegar and salt and allow to cool.
- Halve and destone the avocados before slicing them finely. Spread out the nori sheets one after the other on a sushi mat. Distribute a thin layer of rice on the sheets (leave approx. 4 cm free at the top edge of the sheet). Spread a little wasabi on top. Remove the pineapple sticks from the marinade. Distribute the pineapple sticks and avocado slices over the bottom third of the rice. Use the mat to roll the nori sheet around the filling. Allow the rolls to cool.
- Halve the chillies lengthways, remove the seeds and cut into thin strips. Cut the rest of the pineapple into thin slices. Cut up the sushi rolls and garnish with the sliced pineapple. Sprinkle with chilli, daikon cress, edible flowers and sesame seeds. Add soy sauce for dipping.
