Grilled Portobello And Roasted Pepper Maki Sushi Recipes

Steps:

• For the rice: Wash rice at least 3 times or until water is clear. Fill rice cooker with water to about 1-inch over rice. I highly recommend a rice cooker -- there's a reason more than 2 billion people in Asia use them. Slowly heat vinegar, mirin and sugar until very hot but not boiling. Fold in 'su' (vinegar and sugar) with the hot rice, add enough so that the rice has a tart/sweet taste. Rice should be shiny, not mushy. Carefully clean inside rim of bowl with damp cloth, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
• For the maki-sushi: In a bowl, whisk together honey, mustard, lemon juice and oil. Add crab, herbs and minced shallot. Season with salt and pepper and check flavor.
• Lay nori, shiny side down on sushi mat and lightly pat on rice on bottom half of nori, 1/4 inch thick. Place crab filling 2/3 up on rice. Roll, moisten end to seal and let rest.
• For the hand rolls: In a bowl, mix flour with togarashi, or chili powder, and whisk in club soda until a pancake batter thickness is achieved. Dip the shrimp and scallions in the tempura batter and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Lay the nori vertically with the shiny side down. Using wet hands, lightly place a 1/4-inch thick layer of rice on the bottom half of the nori. Place one shrimp and scallion fan diagonally across the rice from the top left corner to the bottom right. Lay daikon sprouts on top and add a touch of wasabi oil. Roll a cone by bringing the bottom left corner of the nori to half way up the right side edge then roll over. Moisten the top edge to glue. Repeat process.
• For the plating: On a huge white platter, drizzle soy syrup, wasabi oil, sesame seeds, gari and scallions all over. Slice maki-sushi using both bias and straight cuts. Place hand rolls leaning against sushi.
• In a stainless steel bowl, whisk together wasabi, mirin and sugar. Add water until a loose puree is achieved. Whisk in oil. For extra heat, use less oil.
• Combine all the ingredients and reduce at a simmer until a syrup consistency is achieved, about a 60 to 70 percent reduction. Let cool.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together honey, mustard, lemon juice and oil. Add crab, herbs and minced shallot. Season with salt and pepper and check flavor.
• Lay nori, shiny side down on sushi mat and lightly pat on rice on bottom half of nori, 1/4 inch thick. Place crab filling 2/3 up on rice. Roll, moisten end to seal and let rest.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill or cast-iron grill pan to medium-high.
• Working on baking sheet, wrap each round of cheese in a radicchio leaf like an egg roll, and pinch them a little to help it keep their shape. Arrange them on 1 side of the baking sheet.
• Place the mushroom caps on the other side of the baking sheet; drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the mushrooms until tender and juicy, turning once, about 6 minutes. Next, lightly drizzle the wrapped goat cheese with oil and grill until slightly charred and warm, turning occasionally, about 1 minute. Immediately remove and slice in half on the diagonal.
• Slice the grilled mushroom caps into strips and add them to a bowl with the lemon juice and sherry wine vinegar. Toss to combine.
• In a bowl, toss the lettuce mix with the mushrooms and arrange in 4 bowls. Arrange 2 goat cheese halves in the center of each. Sprinkle each salad with red pepper and walnuts, and serve garnished with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Prepare barbeque (medium-high heat). Whisk vinegar, oil, thyme and lemon peel in large bowl to blend well. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.
• Brush vinaigrette over vegetables. Grill until mushrooms are tender and juicy, and peppers and onions are crisp-tender, about 12 minutes per side.
• Cut mushrooms and peppers into 1/2-inch-thick strips. Toss mushrooms, peppers and onions in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Lightly spray the mushrooms with olive oil spray. Lightly spray a large indoor grill pan or grill rack with olive oil spray. Heat the pan for several minutes over medium-high heat or preheat the grill on medium high.
• Grill the mushrooms for about 30 minutes, or until juicy. (The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the mushrooms. If you cook them too long, they will dry out.) Transfer to a cutting board. Slice to the desired thickness.
• In a large bowl, stir together the mushrooms and roasted peppers.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the mushroom mixture. Stir gently. Serve at room temperature.
