Moving Mountains® Fish Finger Sushi
Serves 2
Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Ingredients:
4 Moving Mountains Fish Fingers
150g sushi rice
2 nori sheets
½ cucumber, seeds removed, cut to thin batons
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
1 red pepper, cut to thin batons
Sauce:
3 tbsp vegan mayo
1 tbsp sriracha sauce
2 spring onions, finely sliced
To serve:
Sushi ginger
Soy sauce
Featuring:
Fish Fingers
Method
1. Cook the Fishfingers following the instructions on the packet. Meanwhile, cook the rice – start with rinsing it a few times to get rid of any excess starch. Then, follow the instructions from packaging and leave to cool.
2. While you wait for the rice to cool, make the sauce, simply combining all the ingredients – vegan mayo, sriracha sauce and spring onion.
3. Assemble the sushi rolls. Put one of the nori sheets on a bamboo mat. Spread half of the rice over the nori sheet, leaving a small space at the top edge of the nori rice-free, so you can seal the roll (this step will be easier if you dip your hands in a bowl of water first).
4. Line the roll with two fishfingers, cucumber, red pepper on the bottom quarter, top with the avocado and sauce. Roll the nori up tightly, using the bamboo mat. Seal the edge with a little water.
5. Repeat this step with the second nori sheet and any of your remaining ingredients.
6. Serve with sushi ginger and soy sauce.

Moving Mountains® Waitrose Sausage Burger Kimchi Stew
Serves 4
Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 40 mins
Ingredients:
2 Moving Mountains Sausage Burgers
10g dried shiitake mushrooms
1 1/2 tbsp light olive oil
6 salad onions, 4 sliced, 2 cut in half lengthways
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2cm chunks
1 tbsp black bean paste
1/2 x 400g pot raw kimchi
450ml vegetable stock
200g tenderstem broccoli (larged spears halved lengthways
2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
Drizzle of sesame oil (optional)
Method:
1. Cover the mushrooms with 150ml boiling water, stir and leave to steep for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium shallow casserole or saucepan. Add the sliced salad onions and stir-fry over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the sweet potato chunks, season and fry for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time to get some colour on the potato.
2. Stir in the black bean paste, then add the kimchi, stir-frying for a couple of minutes. Add the mushrooms and their soaking liquid (strain through a sieve to remove any grit). Pour in the stock, bring to a simmer, then turn the heat down slightly and cook for 25 minutes until the sweet potato is tender and the stew is rich and glossy.
3. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until hot. Brush the frozen sausage burgers, broccoli and remaining 2 spring onions with a little oil. Cook the burgers on the griddle for 5-6 minutes each side or until char lines appear and they’re heated through. Remove to a plate, add the broccoli to the griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning until charred and tender. Remove to the plate, then griddle the spring onions for 1-2 minutes until charred, sweet and tender.
4. Slice the burger into even pieces, then stir into the kimchi stew. Serve with the broccoli and spring onions sprinkled with sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil, if you like.
