NORI ROLLS!!!!!!!!11

OOO MMAAAHH...GAAAHHHDD!!!!11 So. Im in love with making Nori Rolls!! Like, for realzies!! So, for those of you that dont know what a Nori Roll is, its seaweed. its whats used to wrap sushi rolls and what not. They dont always come raw..but I got me some raw ones and they are SOOO good. Hard to work with, I def need one of those bamboo sushi roll thingies but I did pretty well for me first try!
So this is how I made it!
I made an almond paste for the "sushi" part. I combined almonds ( about two handfulls that I soaked for 2 hours), onion, garlic, fresh pepper (a lot), and some raw salad dressing that I got that was sesame ginger Which is REALLY good!
Blended it all up in the food processor and got this great paste of like onion dip consistency.
I then spread it on the nori roll, cut up some avacado (my favs), peeled some carrot, shopped some red pepper and then one of the BEST parts...sliced up a marinated raw beet that i got which was spicy and sweet and went PEERFECT with everything...Also! The fishy taste of the seaweed actually made me feel like I was eating fish. The Nori roll didnt have an overpowering sea water taste. It was great!
I then did my best at rolling. I tried to cut it into little sushi pieces but the roll with the paste was just a bit smooshy so I just ate it and took bites of it. But...I was pretty full for at least, 7 hours when I really got hungry!!!  I have left over paste and everthing and will be making this again later in the week...possibly tomorrow! <3
