🛒 INGREDIENTS

- Plastic wrap – for wrapping
- BIS Classic Pesto – 1 jar
- Fior di Latte Cheese – 500-600 gr
- BIS Sun-Dried Tomatoes – 4-5
- Basil Leaves – to taste

- Sugar – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – to taste
📝 DIRECTIONS
- Preparing the Rice:
- Start by rinsing the BIS Arborio Rice under cold running water to eliminate all the starch, until the water becomes clear.
- Place the rice in a pan and add just enough water to cover it, cooking with the lid on until the rice is soft and cooked (about 12-15 minutes).
- Once cooked, spread the rice on a large plate to cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix the rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), salt, and sugar, then add this mixture to the cooled rice and mix well to flavor it.
- Preparing the filling:
- Cut the fior di latte cheese into thin strips.
- Take the BIS Sun-Dried Tomatoes and cut them into strips as well.
- Wash and dry a few fresh basil leaves.
- Assembling the Sushi Roll:
- Place a sheet of Nori seaweed on a flat surface (a sushi mat works great).
- With wet hands, spread a thin layer of rice on the central part of the seaweed, leaving a small border free at the top and bottom.
- Spread some BIS Classic Pesto on the rice and add the fior di latte strips, the sun-dried tomatoes, and a few basil leaves.
- Lightly moisten the top edge of the seaweed with water, then gently roll the sushi, trying to keep it compact.
- Cut the roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife that you have previously moistened with water.
