Raw Sushi Rolls with Warm Satay Sauce


One thing I have noticed recently during my raw food aventure is that over time....my food choices are becoming more and more simplistic. I find now adays I am 'happy as Larry' scoffing down a simple salad (sometimes even for breakfast, lunch and dinner) BUT I always have to have either a decent dressing to smother my salads with or a favourite sauce to go with my chosen raw dishes. This is my treat to myself for being such a goody and eating my greens. :0)


These sushi rolls were made up with most of the left overs from my fridge to be honest but worked out to be well combined in flavour alongside my FAV dipping sauce. These sushi rolls have inside them -
  • marinated cauliflower
  • avocado
  • romain lettuce
  • sauerkraut
  • red and yellow peppers


LOULOU'S RAW WARM SATAY SAUCE
  • 8 dates - soaked for at least 20 mins
  • chunk peeled ginger
  • 1/4 small green pepper
  • 2 T almond butter
  • 1 T nama shoyu
  • a little filtered water to aid with blending
Simply blend all of the sauce ingredients in a high speed blender and your sauce is ready to go..... I placed mine on the little T-light candle warmer to heat up slightly as I prepared the sushi rolls.


The sauce doesn't have to be warmed or heated as it is just as good fresh from the fridge or at room temperature. I also use this satay sauce as a spread on onion bread sarnies, dipping crudities into and use as a salad dressing. It's a good'un!!

I love gingery-almondy-sweet sauces. And I LOVE the idea of warming it. Tricks like that make it easier to be raw in cold weather.

This looks so good. I am always looking for raw sauce ideas...I will have to try the satay sauce...I wonder coul you also make it with a peanut flavor, as I love peanut sauce.

It's strange as the sauce is only really warmed very very gently just above tepid and yet it really does make a difference in the winter months you are right!! ;0)

Erin, simply replace the almond butter with peanut..... or any nut butter come to that for varying tastes. Let me know how it goes if you try it with peanut :0)
