Curly Sushi :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::




Difficulty: Easy
Time: 15 mins,
Servings: 5 Curly Sushi Rolls

Get the entire gang involved in stuffing these fun & flavorful curly kale sushi rolls.  Cooked brown rice is readily available, as is cooked & seasoned sushi rice, often from local restaurants.  HARVEST HACK:> Cook beets easily in advance


Amount
Measure
Ingredient
Prep Method
1-3
Medium
Golden beets


Cook the beets ahead.  Wash, do not peel, cover w/ water in a medium saucepan.  Add a teaspoon salt, Cover, set over high heat & set a timer for 10 mins.  When the water boils, reduce heat to medium & set a timer for 25 mins. Turn off heat & let cool covered in the water.  I do this the night before or in the early morning. 

5
Large
Curly green kales leaves

2
Tablespoons
Rice vinegar

2
Tablespoons
OJ

1
Teaspoon
Orange zest

1 1/2
Tablespoons
Sunflower seeds

Pull the ribs out of the kale leaves & add the Kale Marinade.  Massage the leaves and set aside to marinate while you prep out the vegetables & fruits. 

2
Tablespoons
Sweet onion
Thin slice
3/4
Cup
Celery hearts
Julienne
3/4
Cup
Apple
Thin slice or julienne
3/4
Cup
Carrots

Julienne
3/4
Cup
Red pepper
Julienne
3/4
Cup
Golden been
Precooked, peeled, julienne
1/2
Cup
Kiwi
Juilienne


You don’t need much for 5 rolls. 

1
Cup
Cooked brown or sushi rice

1
Tablespoon
Rice vinegar

1
Tablespoon
Sesame seeds

1
Tablespoon
OJ

1
Tablespoon
Basil or shiso
Chiffonade, opt

Stir the flavorings into the cooked brown or sushi rice.  I like to set everything out as a buffet and let everyone make roll their own.  It’s a colorful feast for the eyes.


5
Small
Nori sheets



The curly top end of the leaf will end up being the top of the roll.  Lay in a sheet of nori if you’d like.  You can buy them in 3 X 4 in sheets.  Perfect size for Curly Sushi.  Scoop in a couple tablespoons of sushi rice in the middle of the leaf.  Arrange the long fruits & veggies toward the top of the leaf, sticking out the top a bit.  Curl the leaf around the sushi and if desired, poke a hole w/ a chop stick & secure the roll w/ a firm matchstick of juilienned carrot.



This is a great way to learn to love the flavors of sushi.  Kale & the briny sea flavor of nori seaweed pair together famously.  The crisp, crunchy, sweet and salty flavors of the fillings tumble together in harmony.  HARVEST PANTRY HACK :> Keep sunflower & sesame seeds on hand for flavor, nutrition & crunch.

Kamut Date & Walnut Bread & Rolls




For the sponge:  Combine in a large bowl
Amount
Measure
Ingredient
Prep Method
2 ½
Cups
Water

1
Tablespoon
Sucanat
Or organic sugar
1 ½
Tablespoons
Yeast


Stir well, allow yeast to dissolve & begin to bubble then add:

½
Cup
Dates
Sliced or minced
2
Cups
Unbleached AP flour


Stir well.  Cover w/ a towel, leave in cool place over night. 

Next morning add:

1
Cup
AP flour

1
Cup
Walnuts
Toasted & chopped
1 ½
Teaspoon
Salt

2
Tablespoons
Whole flax seed

1/3
Cup
Fat of choice *


Beat well w/ a spoon, then gradually stir in

3
Cups
Kamut flour


Switch from the spoon to kneading.  I knead right in the large bowl, but you can turn out onto a lightly floured board if you like.  Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 mins.  Knead in more Kamut flour if too sticky.  Grease the bowl and the dough ball w/ your chosen fat and cover bowl w/ a towel.  Allow to double in bulk.  About an hour or more depending on room temp.  Punch down the dough.

For Loaf Bread:
Divide into three parts, roll into loaf shapes and put into greased loaf pans.

For 16 Rolls:
Divide the dough into 4 pieces.  Then divide each piece into 4 smaller pieces.  Knead each to a uniform ball, roll up tight and pinch the tops w/ a scissors.  Lay on a greased parchment lined sheet.  Push down the pointy bits to make them look attractive and soft. 

Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 30 mins or so.  Preheat oven to 375.
 Brush or rub more fat onto the top of each loaf or roll.  Sprinkle with:

¼
Teaspoon
Gourmet sea salt **


Bake for 30 mins for rolls, about 40 mins for loafs.  When they are lightly golden test for a hollow sound.  These are great the day baked and make wonderful toast after that. 


* Fat of choice:  This is where it gets interesting and fun.  Use melted butter, evoo, or go a little more flavorful w/ melted bacon or duck fat.  

** Fleur de sel, Himalayan or Bolivian pink salt, Coarse Sicilian sea salt, Black or orange Hawaiian sea salt, favorite sea salt blend
