Peanut Butter and Pickle Sushi

I love sushi for the ways in which the textures and flavours of its ingredients are uniquely highlighted. This unusual sounding roll was inspired by a favourite dish of mine, peanut butter and pickle sandwiches (like those described in Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwiches), in which creamy, nutty peanut butter perfectly compliments the crisp texture and garlicky tang of dill pickles. It's unusual, but delicious! I eat this sushi roll with the usual condiments - tamari, wasabi, and pickled ginger. I've used peanut butter in many other sushi inventions as well, enjoying it with carrot, red peppers, green onions, etc. I haven't included cooking directions for sushi rice with this recipe, since there are several recipes for sushi rice posted on RecipeZaar already (i.e. Sushi Rice, Minado's Perfect Sushi Rice, etc.) Recently, I've been making all of my sushi using short-grain brown rice, for the additional health benefits. NOTE: My directions assume some level of sushi-making experience.
