I’m guessing you’ve never had antipasto sushi before. Well, why not? We already know the combination of sweet roasted peppers, spicy salami, tangy marinated artichoke hearts and other typical antipasto plate ingredients are pleasing, to say the least. And really, couldn’t you roll just about anything in sushi rice and nori and enjoy it? I said just about anything….
I really don’t know what made me think of this; I suppose I blame hunger above all else. Or perhaps the luscious, salty Kalamata olives that were in the pasta dish I made this week got me thinking. Either way, I’m pretty proud of my divergent creation. I can just see it served at dinner parties around the globe. It’s certainly a lot easier to eat a maki roll and mingle as opposed to balancing your plate with antipasto offerings, a fork and your drink.
Antipasto Sushi
Add the following ingredients to your maki and roll as usual:
Dip your sushi not into soy sauce and wasabi, but instead into balsamic vinaigrette. Now there’s a fun appetizer. Really. It’s going to be a thing.
