Nori Rolls:Baie St. Paul Style


Okay, don't get to excited about the title....it is a little misleading..since this recipe doesn't really have anything to do with Baie St. Paul (Quebec) directly. But here is the story: when I used to go there during the march break for skiing, there was this place by the inn we would stay at called Joe's Smoked Meat (yuck). Well, I won't lie I loved it then, but anyways. So, they used to serve smoked meat, obviously, but with pickles and muster, and I loved that combination. This recipe uses pickles and mustard, and really reminds me of the sandwich I once thought was fantastic.
To make these rolls, you'll need... (makes about 10-12)

4 sheets of nori (sushi sheets)
1/2 cup Baby tomatoes, chopped in half
1 roll of Hearts of Palm chopped (about 3'' long; you can buy them in a can at most stores)
2 big pickles
1 cup alfalfa sprouts

Dipping sauce
1/8 cup vinegar
1/2 tbsp mustard


Lay out one sheet of nori roll, and put a thick layer down of the alfalfa sprouts; this will act as your rice. Slice 1 pickle into thin pieces and layer them in the middle of the alfalfa sprouts evenly. On top of that, put the chopped tomatoes, and right beside them, layer the hearts of palm; the hearts of palm should be chopped into circles, and then into halves. Tightly rap the nori roll and stick together with water. Than, put it onto another sheet and roll again, since the moisture can often make them break. Cut them into 6-5 thick pieces using scissors (the easiest way I find). Repeat these straps again for the other roll. Finally, mix together the vinegar and mustard. Dip the rolls into them and enjoy.

Yummy veggies,
Julia
