These cucumber spring rolls were offered at an event I went to but I couldn't try them as they had honey in them. They looked so good I knew I had to make some. The recipe is from Chef Rachel of Cru. Instead of honey I used agave. They lived up to my expectations. Lip smacking good!
Shitake mushrooms marinating |
Cucumbers acting as the wrapper for the roll |
There are some avacado slices hiding in there but I think it would be good without them if you don't like avacado just add more shitakes.
A little mint, some cilantro and basil mmm |
Lots of fresh herbs in this roll make it.
Sprouts for good measure |
At this point my mouth was watering and I almost ate it right then.
The roll is done |
This roll was so good I know I'll make it again. I loved the textures and taste. I made this roll and took it to work for part of my lunch. In the future I think I would make it when I am going to eat it soon as it became a little more difficult to manage later in the day. I would also cut back a little on the chili flakes in the marinade. I was a happy camper with this in my lunch.
YUM. I never have a chance to pick up rice wrappers, so this is perfect. I am trying these ASAP, accompanied with a big bowl of miso soup. Thanks for the share!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love cucumbers and using them as spring roll wrappers is genius! I can't wait to try this out :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Thinking about the combo of flavors and textures is making my mouth water.
