Rainbow Vegetable Spring Rolls With Spiced Plum Sauce
Serves: 6 Spring Rolls
Ingredients
Spring Rolls:
- 6 sweetheart cabbage leaves
- 1/4 red cabbage
- 1/4 cucumber
- 1/2 yellow pepper
- 1 large carrot – peeled or scrubbed clean
- Ice cubes
Spiced Plum Sauce:
- 1 large or 2 small ripe plums – stone removed and roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic - peeled
- 1 cm piece fresh ginger – peeled – or sub with 1/2 tsp dried
- 1 tbsp liquid aminos or sub with soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple or agave syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground all spice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 10-15 drops Foodie Flavours Plum
Essence:
- Optional: pinch of dried chilli flakes
Method
- Begin with the sauce - put all the sauce ingredients into a food processor or blender and whizz until smooth and thick. Tip into a small bowl
- For the spring rolls bring a large pan of water to the boil
- Fill a large bowl with cold water and add the ice cubes
- Blanche the sweetheart cabbage leaves 2-3 at a time in the boiling water for just 2 minutes. You might need to use a spoon to push them into the water until they soften enough to be submerged
- Carefully lift out with a slotted spoon or fish slice and plunge into the iced water
- Repeat until you've blanched all of the leaves
- Drain the cooked leaves then layer between sheets of kitchen paper, patting dry
- Prepare all the other veggies:
- Thinly slice the red cabbage
- Cut the carrot into slices then cut into matchsticks
- Do the same with the cucumber but discard the seeded core
- Deseed and slice the pepper
- To make the spring rolls lay one of the cabbage leaves flat in front of you with the stalk end nearest you. Lay a selection of the sliced veggies on top of the leaf at the end nearest you. Fold the side pieces of cabbage over the veggies then roll the leaf up like a burrito
- Cut the spring roll in half and sit cut side up in a bowl
- Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves
- Serve immediately or cover and store the spring rolls and sauce in the fridge for 2-3 days
