I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you really can shove just about anything inside a sheet of nori and have it taste good. On thing I’ll admit to never having tried though, is hamburger maki. Yes, you read that right: I’ve found a recipe for a hamburger sushi roll.
Before you go getting all grossed out, the ground beef is cooked, and accented with onion and bread crumbs, kind of like a mini meat loaf. It’s also dressed with a dollup of barbeque sauce, so that can’t suck, right? Then, it’s wrapped in rice and nori, like a traditional maki roll.
I grant you that hamburger sushi is anything but traditional, but it would make a fun alternative for the carnivore who shuns fish and veggies. plus, it would be a little heartier than your average sushi roll. You could serve it for dinner with a nice big mesclun salad.
Plus, you’ve just opened up a whole new world of eaters to sushi. Heck, this could be the appetizer at your next Super Bowl party, pack it tailgating, serve with with the hot dogs at your summer barbeque. Your friends and family probably already think you’rw a little weird anyway, so what have you got to lose?
