This is the second Coachella Roll I've come across in the valley; the first one was documented in my book “Coachella Desert Cuisine”. The one I'm blogging about today, though, was much more than just a sushi roll; it was a whole meal. It was sushi rice on the outside and seaweed inside surrounding spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. The roll slices were served flat and generously topped with chopped tuna, crab, shrimp, snapper, salmon, and serrano pepper slices. There was a creamy sauce on the bottom that was supposedly cilantro sauce with spicy mayo, though I failed to taste the cilantro. This dish was creamy and spicy with some crunch from the tempura and the raw pepper slices. There were so many flavors going on here but all in the best way. This dish showed off the innovative nature of Mexican style sushi, and I'm glad it was named after our desert valley.
