Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

½ cucumber
3 ½ ounces crab sticks, finely chopped
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
2 ½ cups cooked sushi rice
2 ½ tablespoons sesame seeds
1 avocado, sliced
4 teaspoons tobiko (flying fish roe)

Steps:

Slice the ends off of the cucumber, then cut into quarters lengthwise. Thinly slice each quarter lengthwise to make spears.
Stir chopped crab sticks and mayonnaise together in a small bowl.
Lay 1 sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Pat a thin, even layer of rice over the nori with wet hands, leaving a 1/3-inch edge at the bottom. Sprinkle rice with sesame seeds. Carefully flip over.
Add 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in a line across the sheet about 1/3 of the way from the top. Layer with 1 to 2 cucumber spears and 1 to 3 slices of avocado.
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sheet tightly into a cylinder, starting at the top edge. Moisten the uncovered edge with water and finish rolling once you reached the bottom. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Slice each roll into 3/4-inch pieces. Garnish each piece with 1/8 teaspoon tobiko.

COPYCAT JOHN ALDEN ROLLWICH

Copycat John Alden Rollwich image

If you've ever been to Cape Cod, you've almost certainly either seen or eaten at one of the many Box Lunch franchises in the area. This is my recreation of one of their famous "Rollwiches", scaled down to fit my smaller appetite. Feel free to make this in a larger tortilla and increase the other ingredients if you desire. If you add some slices of swiss cheese, this becomes a Priscilla Alden!

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 flour tortilla (soft taco size, about 7.5 inches)
2 teaspoons mayonnaise or 2 teaspoons light mayonnaise
1 1/2-2 tablespoons jellied cranberry sauce
2 ounces thinly sliced turkey (enough for a couple of thin layers)
romaine lettuce (I also enjoy using baby spinach, although that's not true to the original)
3 slices tomatoes

Steps:

Spread the mayonnaise on the tortilla, making sure to leave at least 1/2 inch around the outside.
Glop on a thin layer of cranberry sauce, but enough that it's fully covered. If you mash the cranberry sauce with a fork it seems to spread more easily.
Add the turkey and a thin layer of lettuce (or spinach).
Place the 3 tomato slices in a line down the center of the tortilla.
Make sure you don't fill the tortilla too full or get too close to the edge, or it won't wrap properly!
Carefully roll the tortilla into a wrap. Cut into two pieces, if desired.
Dig in and enjoy a taste of New England!
