Paleo Sushi

After some trial and error...

I came up with a great system to make paleo sushi!

Well, I guess it's technically paleo maki, because there is no rice. Anyway, this is how I did it....

Ingredients:
-Sushi grade tuna
-Carrots
-Cucumber
-Cauliflower
-Avocado
-Nori (Seaweed sheets--you can get these at an Asian grocery)
-Lemon Juice

Tools:
-Bamboo rolling sheet
-Saran Wrap
-Food processor
-Potato masher

Prep:
-Thinly slice tuna, peeled carrots and peeled cucumbers (use long carrots!)
-Mash avocado and lemon juice in a bowl
-De-stem cauliflower and place in food processor--pulse until cauliflower is rice-like in size

Process:
-Wrap bamboo rolling sheet in saran wrap
-Place nori bumpy side up on bamboo sheet
-Smear a thin layer of mashed up avocado all over the sheet carefully, not to rip it
-Sprinkly cauliflower "rice" all over the avocado-y sheet
-Place a few pieces of tuna, carrot and cucumber on the front end of nori (closest to you)
-Hold the pieces of veggies/tuna in place as you roll and tuck. Keep rolling and tucking until it's all the way rolled up.
-Place your roll in the fridge for a few minutes
-Slice the roll with a very sharp knife beginning in the center. Between cuts, rinse the knife in ice cold water.
