MORE RECIPES INSIDE!

We all have a favorite variation of a roll. Sushi hand rolls, burritos, taquitos, wraps, roulades, the list goes on. Enjoying food as a rolled meal saves time and allows the consumer to have their meal on the-go. For instance, instead of worrying about bringing a fork with your chicken salad, you can simply include your chicken and vegetables in a bed of iceberg lettuce like Ceren Yavuz’s Low Carb Chicken Wrap or Cheri Chan’s Simple Cucumber Protein Roll. Rolling food also allows one to be able to enjoy the full flavor of the dish in just one bite. Jill Cariaga’s Paleo Turkey roll is an example of how she enjoys dinner with protein, carbohydrates, and fat into one serving. With all ingredients available in one mouthful, there is no need for a side dish. After seeing the entries of these rolls I realized how creativity becomes limitless when rolling food. Rolls like Luke’s Cucumber Lobster roll, Maya’s Shikai Maki roll, and Kaylea’s Vegan Spiral Delight roll all become not only delicious and healthy meals for our mouths but eye-candy for our souls. After reviewing all the entries for the #thisishowiroll Challenge, I knew I could not let these creations settle as a 400 x 400 pixel-sized Instagram. I knew these dishes had to be extensively shared. As I created this ebook, I wanted the reader to focus on the beauty of healthy eating. There is an immeasurable amount of value in creating a healthy dish to serve to your family, show off to your followers on Instagram, or simply consume privately as mid-day snack. Keeping health and wellness a priority in your life, I wish that these dishes from some of our favorite Instagram members show you how to incorporate nutritious ingredients into your daily meals and inspire you to practice creativity in the kitchen. Happy rolling!

I layed out the smoked salmon in strips and layered juliened zucchini or julienned sweet potato on top. Then I put a little rice and carrot and mashed avocado in each. Rolled them up and the smoked salmon was sticky enough to keep them together!

Method1. Prepare the sushi rice: Add vinegar to hot rice in a bowl and stir until well incorporated. Add the mashed purple sweet potato to the bowl and with a fork, gently mix the potato into the rice. Let this cool slightly before using.

2. Cut one square sheet of nori into two. Overlap them at the short ends to create one long piece.3. Arrange a thin layer of sushi rice covering the entire length of the nori. Roll tightly from one end to the other.

3. Cut roll into quarters lengthwise. Flip the quarters so the inside corners face outwards.

4. On another half-sheet of nori, place bottom two quar-ters and place carrot and avocado strips along the crease created between these two quarters.

5. Place the remaining two quarters on top of the filling, then carefully wrap the half-sheet of nori around the four quarters, rolling the whole thing into a square. Do the same with the remaining nori sheets.

6. With a very sharp, dampened knife, slice roll according to desired thickness. Serve immediately with soy sauce dip.

CucumberLobsterRolls

Ingredients2 tbsp. sesame seeds2 tbsp. flax seeds2 tbsp. red caviar (fish roe)100g wakame seaweed1 lobster tailFillet of hot smoked salmonFillet of fresh tuna

3 small cucumbers 3 larger cucumbers

1 carrot1 red capsicum

1 avocado2 tbsp. chia seeds

Preparation Cut the carrot, capsicum and avocado into thin strips as these are your fillers. Get your tuna fillet and cut into long even strips. Combine and toast in a dry pan the chia and sesame seeds, remove from heat and roll thefresh tuna in the seeds to coat. Boil your lobster tail and de-shell, cutting into strips, if you remove the meat from the shell delicately you will have a great serving garnish. You can use store bought hot smoked salmon to save on prep time but I like to smoke my own, plus I love the smell of charcoal.

Cut both ends of the cucumber and with a knife hollow out the cucumber taking the seeds out and leaving the outer flesh only. Be careful not to go too close to the edge as it will become hard to complete the following steps. Slit one side length ways and lay flat on the bench with the slit facing you. Gently pry open and fill with whatever fillings you think will work together. Once packed with as much filling as possible and still being able to close set aside.

Grab the larger cucumber and cut both ends off and with a knife hollow it out taking the seeds out. Carefully grab your smaller cucumber and slide it in the middle or the larger one. This step is a little tricky, try not to force it as it can split the larger cucumber. If it is too hard to insert hollow a little more of the inside of the larger cucumber with the knife and try sliding in again…

Once the two cucumbers are inside each other peel the outer cucum-ber for a clean look. To finish off, roll the cucumber in some flax seeds or red caviar, it gives the official look of a Sushi roll. Slice into bite size pieces. Peeling the outer layer after the two are together is a must as it is almost impossible to insert it without splitting when peeled…

Time to make the rolls…

by Luke Kotamanidis

Grab your smaller cucumber and score down about 3mm all around the cucumber length ways with a fork, this will allow you to open the cucumber just a little to fill.

by Pamela Martha FockerEnchiladas

Ingredients:• 4 lbs. of trimmed beef brisket • 2 thick sweet potatoes • 3 dried chiles (Ancho/pasilla,guajillo)• 2 cloves of garlic • 1 ½ cup of chopped yellow onion• 1 chopped shallot• 4 quartered cherry tomatoes• 4 cups of water• Olive oil• ½ teaspoon of cumin• Salt and pepper

Paleo

Enchilada SauceAdd 4 cups of water to a sauce pan. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. Toast dried chiles on a skillet. Using a tongs and scissors, cut the chiles open and take out the seeds. Add chiles into boiling water, until they become plump. Sauté the chopped onion and shallot in 2 tablespoons of olive oil with a sprinkle of sea salt until translucent. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add quartered tomatoes for 4 minutes. Using tongs put the peppers into a blender along with the cooked onion, shallot, tomatoes and garlic. Add 1 cup of the “Chile water” to the blender, season, and blend until smooth. Strain the smooth mixture and cover the sauce and keep warm. Do not dispose of the paste.

Sweet potato tortillasUsing a mandolin, slice the sweet potato (skin on) length wise to 1/8 of an inch. Be careful!Using the chili water gently boil the slices till tender. (Tender is being able to pick up the slices and they can bend without breaking.) After cooked, place on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Texan Smoked BrisketYou have to use a smoker pit. If you don’t have one, baking could be substituted

Using your choice of wood, heat the smoker up to 250 degrees and brown the brisket that can be seasoned with your favorite season-ing for about 2 hours. The brisket should be browned and slightly firm to touch. Wrap in foil tightly and cook an hour for every pound. Let brisket rest and shred once the meat has cooled enough to touch. Shred 4 cups of brisket into a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of the chili paste and chili water to moisten up and flavor the brisket more. Baking a brisket is almost the same only you would bake without the foil for 1 hour at 375 degrees then wrap baking pan and cook for 30 minutes per pound.

Assembling all the goodnessPre-heat oven to 275 degrees. Dip sweet potato slices in the chili sauce and place on a baking sheet. Roll the brisket in the sweet potato gently, they should hold together but if they don’t use a toothpick. In a small baking dish line enchiladas and pour the enchilada sauce over and cover with foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

I currently work two jobs, for a fruit wholesale business for the last 3 years. I’m also a personal trainer so naturally the two jobs mix with each other as I try to create a healthy version of every meal I cook. Only recently I have been thoroughly into my nutrition and I have started a Facebook page Definition Healthy Chef which ties in my personal training with my love of clean healthy food. I’ve never been trained or taught how to cook, I’m just a fit person who has a passion about food.

I'm just a simple girl who loves food and fitness. I enjoy trying and creating healthy recipes that won't bore the everyday clean-eater.

I have realized my body was a real reflection of what I was putting into it and that I could control what was in my food if I prepared it myself.
