Vegetable Sushi w/ Gem Garnish

The tart lemon flavor of Marigold Gem adds zest to sushi and other delicate foods.

1-cup sushi rice
2 cups water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
Nori seaweed (available in specialty food stores)
Cucumber
Carrots
Marigold Gem Mix


Rinse 1-cup sushi rice several times in cold water, then cover with 2 cups water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until water is completely absorbed. Cool and mix with 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar. On a flat surface, set out a single piece of Nori seaweed (available in specialty food stores). Spread with a thin layer of the cooked rice, place a thin strip of sliced cucumber and carrots. Starting from one side, roll into a tight tube. Moisten the end with water to seal and set aside until ready to slice and serve. Garnish with Marigold Gem Mix.

Marigold Gem Mix
Marigold Gem Mix is great for edging or to provide a bounty of edible blooms for salads and garnish. The lemon scented foliage brings aromatic pleasure to every garden.
