Vegan Sushi

I never liked sushi. Never. The idea of raw meat is something that doesn't really make me salivate. Now, not eating meat at all, gives me a great excuse to not even to there. But I found vegan sushi, and oh it's good... Really good. I leave you with some pictures: avocado, tofu and cucumber sushi, cucumber and wasabi sushi and strawberry sushi covered in chocolate. The chocolate sushi is nice but it's somewhat strange to eat rice with chocolate, it's different but nice to taste the sweetness of the strawberry inside the sushi.

1 avocado

Juice of half lime

1 garlic clove

Fresh mint (about 10 big leaves)

Boil water in your kettle. Measure 100ml and place a package of coconut paste into it (not coconut oil, nor coconut cream, it's a paste which you should dissolve in 400ml hot water but here we will use 100ml only) and with a spoon break it apart till it's s liquid.

Pour this into the food processor and turn it on for another couple of minutes. 

You'll have a nice thick avocado minty sauce for your pasta!
