This rich and decadent raw food salad with nor seaweed and lotus root is a great winter warmer, due to the wine. It's a gourmet raw food salad you can pull out of nowhere, as it's made entirely from ingredients you can keep in your storage cupboard. It's so strongly flavoured, I recommend you eat this lotus and nori salad as an appetizer rather than a side dish. Invented in California, I was inspired by the mix of Japanese sushi culture found here alongside the local penchant for fine Napa Valley wines. A truly eccentrically English take on the California / Asian fusion raw food culinary scene.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons red wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 1 cup dried lotus root, rehydrated
- 2 big sheets of nori, torn into 1cm squares
Preparation:
Just before the salad is eaten, sprinkle on the nori.
