Pats Grilled Vegetable Hero Recipes

Steps:

• Cut one 12-ounce loaf country bread into 1-inch-thick slices. Grill over medium heat until marked, 2 minutes per side; cut into cubes. Cut 1 each zucchini, yellow squash and red onion into 1/2-inch-thick slices; cut 1 red bell pepper into quarters. Brush the vegetables with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill until tender, about 5 minutes. Chop the vegetables and toss with the bread cubes, 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup torn basil, 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

• Present the grilled vegetables on a platter, along with the cabbage, carrot, cucumber and avocado, and allow everyone to build their own hand rolls.
• To make the hand rolls: Lay a halved nori sheet, shiny-side down, on a clean surface. Add 1/4 cup of the sushi rice to the left edge of the nori and flatten slightly. Top with the desired vegetables. Bring the bottom left corner up and over the fillings to the top edge of the rectangle, creating a cone. Now roll the cone down the remaining strip of nori. Use a couple grains of rice to secure the nori to itself to help keep it rolled. Drizzle the top with the sriracha mayonnaise and sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Serve alongside the ginger and soy sauce for dipping.
