Sushi-Style Rice Paper Rolls with Goat Cheese

1 . Stage

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add to a bowl with the toasted pine nuts. Allow to cool, 5 to 10 minutes.

2 . Stage

Add goat cheese, grated carrot, and ginger to the cooled onion mixture. Mix well with a fork.

3 . Stage

Wet one rice paper carefully in a shallow dish of water. Transfer to a level, nonstick work surface. Place 2 large mint leaves in the center and cover with a piece of leaf lettuce to fill the size of the rice paper. Add goat cheese mixture in the center in a roll about 3/4 inches in diameter. Roll carefully, tucking in the ends of the rice paper at mid-roll so that nothing leaks out. The humid rice paper should stick to itself to seal the ends and edges. Wrap roll in plastic wrap.

4 . Stage

Repeat the wetting, filling, and wrapping process to make remaining rolls. Place rolls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the cheese to set.

5 . Stage

When ready to serve, unroll each from plastic and cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch slices. Serve on a platter.
