Poke: Hawaiian-Inspired 'Sushi' Bowls

Description

If you're bored with sushi and sick of ceviche but still crave the taste of raw fish, prepare to pile in for the latest pescatarian food craze: poke . Hailing from Hawaii, Poke - pronounced 'Poh-Kay' is a colourful mix of raw cubes of fish (often tuna) with a soy-based dressing, served in a bowl with rice and garnishes. Anything goes when it comes to ingredients, and in Poke you will learn how to create your own vibrant bowls of goodness. You simply select your base of choice (rice, salad, slaw), pick your poke (salmon, tuna, tofu), then pimp it up with a zingy or fruity dressing and/or pickle! Easy! The possibilities are endless, but the results are always favourful. Traditionally made with raw fish, poke can even be adapted for vegetarians using delicous marinated mushrooms or beetroot, or silken tofu. You'll also find recipes for different toppings, vinegars, dressings, pickles, grains, and even sweet poke varieties.

Celia Farrar and Guy Jackson are the team behind Poke , the successful pop-up at Kerb London and have had tremendous success. Since their opening last year, Hawaiian food, poke in particular, has become hugely popular.
