Ahi Roll
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 C. sushi rice (see recipe)
- 2 C. cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced
- 2 C. avocado, peeled, seeded, diced
- 2 1/2 C. Crab Ceviche (see recipe)
- 2 1/2 C. Ahi Tartar (see recipe)
- 2 tsp. tobiko
- 8 tsp. Sevruga caviar
- 2 tsp. nori, julienned
Directions
Place a 2 3/4 inch (diameter) by 1 3/4 inch (high) stainless steel ring in the center of a plate. Put the sushi rice in the mold and pack gently. Place the cucumber on top of the rice. Put avocado on the cucumber. Layer the crab ceviche on the cucumber. This should give you three equal layers coming to the top of the ring mold. Put a mound of the ahi tartar on the crab. Garnish the top with julienned nori and tobiko. Garnish the plate with sevruga caviar. Drizzle white truffle vinaigrette around the plate.Note
Tobkio, or flying fish roe, are small, red-orange eggs. They are available in packaged tins in Japanese markets and specialty stores. Nori is an edible paper made from seaweed, often used in sushi. Dried sheets are widely available in Japanese markets and specialty stores.
