For the anchovies’ sushi, the following ingredients:

• Mini cucumber
• Carrots

At last, for the mussels’ sushi these elements will be needed:

• Avocados

Preparation:

1. First off, we prepare the rice. That is, we wash the rice and cook it, covered with the chilli and salt, for about 20 minutes.
2. Once ready, we set it aside and let it cool.
3. Then on the Makisu mat we put the Nori seaweed, with the bright part facing outwards.
4. With our hands wet, we extend the rice. We'll cover two-thirds of the seaweed.
5. Next, we will place the ingredients of each type of sushi:
   • For albacore tuna sushi: we extend the olive jam; we add two rows of pickles; in the centre of the two rows of pickles we put the albacore tuna.
   • For Cantabrian anchovy sushi: we put a row with mini cucumbers, another row with the carrots (peeled and vertically chopped), and between the two, we place the anchovy fillets, also vertically.
   • For mussel sushi: we put a row with chopped avocado, another row with the beetroot, also chopped, and between the two we place a row of mussels.
6. We roll up the seaweed, using the mat, and wet the end of the seaweed with a little water to make it stick well.
7. We cut the rolls into slices the size we prefer.
8. Finally, we place it on a tray and accompany it with soy sauce or wasabi.
