Starter

Cucumber-Mint-Rolls (10-12 Rolls)

Ingredients:
1 organic cucumber
1/2 pkg. goat cream cheese (ca. 75 g)
1 small red beet 
1 carrot
1 yellow bell pepper
2 stalks mint

Preparation:

• Cut the cucumber lengthwise into strips with an asparagus peeler. Once you have reached the "seeds", simply turn the cucumber over and start peeling on the other side.
• Put the thin cucumber strips on a paper towel, dab off and put aside.
• Clean the vegetables and cut into Juliennes.
• Chop the mint finely and mix with the goat cheese.
• Now put a strip of cucumber ready on one end, add 1 teaspoon of goat's cream cheese and put 2 juliennes on each end crosswise to the cucumber.
• From the occupied side, begin to roll up the occupied cucumber strip.
• Continue until the cucumber strips are used up.
• If you like, put another skewer through and serve.

Nori-Cones (10 Cones)

Ingredients:
5 Nori leaves
250 g quinoa
4 tbsp almond paste
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp agave syrup
salt & pepper
1 avocado
1 pack Tempeh, Curry
1/2 organic cucumber
black sesame
edible flowers
Oil for deep frying

Preparation:
Prepare the quinoa according to the instructions on the packet and allow to cool.
Mix almond paste, apple vinegar, agave syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 pinch pepper.
Mix the mixture with the quinoa. A little almond paste is needed to make the quinoa as sticky as classic sushi rice.
Cut the Nori leaves in half.
Cut Tempeh into 10 equal slices and fry in a pan with 3 tbsp rapeseed oil on both sides for about 3 minutes.
Cut the avocado in half, peel, core and serve in strips so that you have at least 10 strips.
Wash and halve the cucumber and cut each half lengthwise into 5 strips.
Now cover the right half of the already halved Nori leaf with quinoa.
Place 1 tempeh, 1 avocado and 1 cucumber strip across the right corner of the NOri leaf, executed, on top of the quinoa and sprinkle with some black sesame seeds.
Take the nori leaf into your hand so that the covered side is on the palm of your hand. Carefully squeeze the side together and wrap the empty side of the leaf around it to form a cone (like an ice cream cone). The best way to do this is to watch a Youtube video.
The garnish is edible blossoms fried in oil for about 5 minutes.
For serving you can use bamboo cones, but you don't have to ;)
