Fruit? or Sushi? (Please comment & let me know what you think…)

 

So, Mike and I’ve been toying with this “fruit sushi” idea…that especially with the sun-kissed summer fruit from the farmers market, that some of these fruit really deserve to take center-stage.  After picking out the best-of-the-best fruits at the market, I pondered over for hours of how the various fruit’s flavors can be highlighted and complimented by creative ingredients.  And tada!  Here’s my pass:fruit sushi trio (plum, white peach, pluot)

 From left to right:

Friar plum “salmon” with cotton candy pluot, balsamic & cayenne reduction sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings.

White peach “yellowtail” with sectioned orange “masago caviar” & fresh basil.

Watermelon pluot “tuna” with diced white peach, lemon zest, coconut milk foam & cocoa powder.

The sushi rice base is Japanese sweet rice cooked with coconut milk and tossed with maple syrup, lemon juice & zest.

    I am intrigued by the way you prepared the rice, using coconut milk and maple syrup and lemon.

    Did you create this concept yourself? It’s pretty incredible. Looks amazing.
