IngredientsUS|METRIC
US|METRIC
- 2 servings
- 125 grams sushi rice
- 1/2 zucchini
- 1/2 avocado
- salt (to taste)
- 1/2 lemon juice
- chopped parsley (to taste)
- black sesame seeds
- 1 natural yogurt
- olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ground black pepper
- black mustard seeds (to taste)
Directions
- Wash the rice under running water several times, and let drain in a colander for about 40 minutes.
- Then, heat the rice in a saucepan of boiling water, let a little bit of the water evaporate, put the lid on the pan, and let the rice simmer for about 5 minutes (be careful not to let it stick to the bottom of the pan). Remove from heat, and cool completely.
- Cut the ends of the zucchini, wash thoroughly and cut thin slices of the zucchini with a potato peeler and grill. Be careful not to grill too much so that the zucchini slices do not fall apart.
- While the rice and zucchini cool, place the avocado in a small bowl, and use a fork to crush. Add salt, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, and finally, chopped parsley.
- Assemble the sushi, as pictured.
- First, add the rice, then the avocado, and then roll up the zucchini slices carefully.
- Sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top to add a very oriental touch.
- For the sauce, mix plain yogurt, a dash of olive oil, a tablespoon of old Dijon mustard, salt, pepper to taste, and finally a grain of black mustard.

I left the seeds out this sushi and added dried dill and curls of lemon zest instead. I wanted brighter color and flavor without the crunch of seeds. The zucchini, avocado and yogurt were a cool, refreshing triplet.
