Years ago, chef James Corwell was asked to create a line of vegetarian sushi for a party. Today's vegetarian sushi options are decent at best (sweet potato rolls) and insulting at worst (cucumber rolls, really?). So he started thinking about tomatoes. Like raw fish, seaweed, and soy sauce, they're high in savory components. It's not too much of a stretch, he thought, to lump tomatoes into the same category. In the past few years, Corwell perfected his solution to the vegetarian sushi problem: tomato sushi--that is, tomatoes cooked sous vide and wrapped in seaweed and rice so that they have a near-identical resemblance in looks and texture to tuna.
I had a chance to try Corwell's tomato sushi, delivered fresh from his kitchen. Still, it's better than most other vegetarian sushi options available today. We need palatable alternatives to seafood--if not to stave off extinction, then at least to make the transition to a seafood-free world easier to stomach.
