Hello foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique creation inspired by my love for both sushi and Mediterranean flavors. This sushi burrito with a Mediterranean twist is a delightful fusion dish that will surely tantalize your taste buds. The combination of fresh seafood, vibrant vegetables, and flavorful Mediterranean herbs and spices creates a harmonious blend of flavors that will leave you craving more.

Ingredients:

• sushi rice (cooked), 200g
• seared tuna fillet, 150g
• cucumber (julienned), 50g
• red bell pepper (sliced), 50g
• feta cheese (crumbled), 50g
• Kalamata olives (pitted), 30g
• hummus, 50g
• tzatziki sauce, 50g
• dried oregano
• salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• bamboo sushi mat
• sharp knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• spatula

To start, lay a sheet of seaweed on the bamboo sushi mat. Spread a layer of sushi rice evenly on the seaweed, leaving a small border at the edges. Place the seared tuna fillet, cucumber, red bell pepper slices, crumbled feta cheese, and Kalamata olives in the center of the rice. Drizzle some hummus and tzatziki sauce over the filling. Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

Using the bamboo sushi mat, carefully roll the sushi burrito, applying gentle pressure to seal the edges. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the burrito into rounds. Arrange the sushi burrito rounds on a serving plate and garnish with extra hummus and tzatziki sauce.

This sushi burrito with a Mediterranean twist weighs approximately 500g once assembled. It serves 2 people, with an average serving weight of 250g. Each serving is estimated to be around 400 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle some furikake (Japanese rice seasoning) on the sushi rice before adding the fillings for an extra burst of umami flavor.
