Wrapped Sausage Bites (Pigs in a Blanket? )

Ok, first I want to say that I don’t eat pork or many other meats. But this is a recipe I have read some time ago & it was in my mind. After I tried it, I wanted to find a name. What I did is, searched in Google & found this name. Yes, these appetizers look like ‘pigs in a blanket’ & this is something that a hot dog becomes a pig…..:)

Anyway here is the recipe & it was very easier to prepare.

Ingredients

A prepared dough (Any pastry dough goes with this & I have frozen paratha,so I used it)

Few sausages

Method

Pre heat the oven to 400F

Cut a strips from the dough.

Wrap it around the sausage.

Then cut the wrapped sausage into small pieces of about 2 inch.

Bake in 400F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with any sauce.

Really simple and easy appetizer & I think this is good to serve in any gathering.

I found some recipes,that they use cheese inside the dough (blanket).Also I saw some recipes which they use cabbage as the wrap.Anyway,it depends on the way we prepare & I am sure this would be tasty in anyway...

Bento #3 - Flower bed with Egg Sheets

This is my 3^rd Bento & it is tried with Egg sheets.

Here is a tutorial of how to make egg sheets. I followed it, but may be my method is slightly different from the tutorial.

I whisked an egg together with 1 tspn corn flour .I have a small circular shaped non-stick pan which I mostly use for egg omlette.I just applied some oil on it.

Then I strained the egg mixture on to the pan.

Cooked the egg in a very low flame.

After it is cooked, turned the egg sheet to the other side & switch off the flame. The heat of the pan was enough to cook the other side of the egg sheet.

Cookie cutters were helpful for me to make these flowers.

For the bento box, I used white rice, but I make it as a very thin layer inside the meal box.

Using carrots, egg sheet flowers, pomegranate seeds, spring onion leaves, some kind of lettuce & also a piece of rectangle shaped egg sheet were used to decorate the box as a flower bed.
