We are fortunate in York to have quite a number of Asian students at the university so all the larger supermarkets have an Asian food section. Which made acquiring Nori sheets remarkably easy.
These Nori rolls aren’t really authentic but apart from the fact that Sue’s not overly keen of fish, Sushi would have been beyond our budget. So she made up a cross between Spring Rolls and Sushi.
(1) Stir fry all the ingredients except the Beetroot, Lettuce and Cucumber.
(2) Mix the filling ingredients with a dash of Soy Sauce.
(3) Place Lettuce leaves on top of the Nori sheet.
(4) Spoon the filling ingredients into the middle of the sheet.
(5) Roll each parcel and either tick the ends in as you would with Spring rolls, or leave open.
We served ours with Sticky Rice and Peas, Home made Coleslaw and a Potato Salad. The whole gig was fresh colourful and very tasty.
We often post about meat. Our usual way of shopping is to find a low cost piece of meat in the reductions and build a meal around it. That's mostly my fault (Tony) as I'd make a very poor Vegetarian! But we don't often mention the vegetables specifically.
So Celeriac......
It's a sort of universal soldier for us at the moment. The local supermarket have them at £1 each and as they are priced per item you can get a very substantial chap for very little, weight for weight compared with other veg at the moment. OK they look quite unimpressive, knobbly, off white and are hard going to cut raw. But they are worth the effort. Another advantage is that unlike many root vegetables they don't discolour when you've cut them, so you can store a cut one in the fridge for days and come back to it.
We've enjoyed:-
Home made Celeriac Coleslaw – Just cut lumps and grate it with Carrots, Onions etc. and mix in Mayonnaise.
Carrot and Celeriac mash. Use the Celeriac instead of Swede.
Boiled Celeriac batons.
Roasted Celeriac.
Celeriac in casseroles and Hotpots
Yes this picture is another Sunday roast, but the star of this show were the Celeriac Chips.
