It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


Sushi is most commonly served in single bite serving sizes but this recipe puts all the delicious sushi ingredients into one larger pizza-like presentation.


1 cup sushi rice
1 1/4 cup water
1/8 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
1/2 sheet roasted nori (pressed seaweed)
3/4 cup flaked imitation crabmeat (surimi) or thinly sliced smoked salmon
1/2 cup very thinly sliced English cucumber
2 tablespoons pickled ginger
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon wasabi powder
In saucepan, combine rice and water; bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat to low; cook for 25 minutes or until rice is tender. With fork, stir in rice vinegar and sesame seeds.
Meanwhile, line 8-inch round or 8-inch square cake pan with plastic wrap. With spatula, press rice firmly and evenly into pan. Let cool completely. Turn out onto flat serving plate.
Top with layer of avocado slices. Using scissors, cut nori into thin strips; sprinkle over avocado.
Arrange crabmeat, cucumber and ginger over top.
Stir together mayonnaise, milk and wasabi powder; drizzle over top.
Cut into wedges to serve.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Excellent recipe. Love that I don't have to work for hours to make rolled sushi but still get the same flavors. I did add finely grated raw carrot. It looked kind of like tobiko. I added a teaspoon of honey to combat the bitterness from the wasabi powder.
