- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt

- In a blender or food processor blend cashews with the cut-up shallot and lemon juice, add a little bit of water if necessary.
- Remove from blender and place the cashew mixture in a large bowl.

- On a dry pan lightly toast 50g peeled sesame seeds until golden.
- Let them cool, then mix with the chopped dried peppers and the black sesame seeds.
- Cut the Nori sheets with a sharp knife first into long strips, then into small rectangles (about 1cm on the longest side).
- Place each zucchini slice in front of you. Spoon the cashew ricotta onto the zucchini slices.
- Top with a bit of horseradish spread and sprinkle with the sesame mixture and cut up Nori sheets.
- Roll the zucchini up and secure it with a toothpick.
- Sprinkle the top again with a few sesame seeds and Nori mixture.
Notes
Instead of horseradish spread, you can use wasabi.
