I can’t take full credit for this one. I didn’t come up with the idea for peanut avocado sushi. I’ve been ordering the stuff from my favorite Japanese take out place for four years now. It might be my favorite variety, or tied for first with the tempura fried sweet potato rolls. Whoever said sushi was light fare never dined with me. The first time I saw these rolls on a menu I pondered how the peanuts would work into the recipe. Were they going to be whole peanuts? Wouldn’t they slip out easily? I was pleased and surprised to find that the peanuts were actually more of a peanut paste. Not quite a peanut butter, and actually a little sweet. Typically, when we order these rolls at my house, they’re accompanied by an assortment of veggie rolls. My boyfriend got into the habit of eating the peanut avocado rolls last, telling me it was like his sushi dessert. Now, these aren’t quite that sweet, but they do make a nice finish after bites and bites of all kinds of savory and salty rolls. As usual, I’m going to direct you to YouTube for some rolling instruction.
