Peanut Butter and Pickle Sushi image

I love sushi for the ways in which the textures and flavours of its ingredients are uniquely highlighted. This unusual sounding roll was inspired by a favourite dish of mine, peanut butter and pickle sandwiches (like those described in recipe #104084), in which creamy, nutty peanut butter perfectly compliments the crisp texture and garlicky tang of dill pickles. It's unusual, but delicious! I eat this sushi roll with the usual condiments - tamari, wasabi, and pickled ginger. I've used peanut butter in many other sushi inventions as well, enjoying it with carrot, red peppers, green onions, etc. I haven't included cooking directions for sushi rice with this recipe, since there are several recipes for sushi rice posted on RecipeZaar already (i.e. Recipe #55243, Recipe #119373, etc.) Recently, I've been making all of my sushi using short-grain brown rice, for the additional health benefits. NOTE: My directions assume some level of sushi-making experience.

Time 45m

Yield 2 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2-1 cup prepared sushi rice
2 sheets nori, seaweed
1 dill pickle
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

Steps:

  • Prepare sushi rice according to your favourite recipe.
  • Cut the dill pickle into 4-8 wedges, depending on personal preference and the size of the pickle.
  • Place one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi rolling mat. Spread a thin layer of rice on the nori (to do this, I use a fork, dampened with warm salt water).
  • Spread a line of peanut butter (approximately 1 heaping tbsp - more or less, depending on personal preference) along the rice, and arrange a singe row of pickle wedges on top of the peanut butter.
  • Roll, cut, and enjoy!
