Octopus from sausages is a great alternative to the usual breakfast. The appearance of these products will surely appeal to children, and maybe adults. Therefore, they are very pleased to eat an unusual dish. There are several ways to make octopuses from sausages.
To create the marine inhabitants themselves, we need only sausages. How much? It depends on how many octopuses you want to create. We will take only three sausages.
Cooking an interesting dish
- How to make an octopus out of a sausage? Everything is quite simple. First take two sausages and peel them off.
- Now you need a knife. You need to make them eight cuts (along) two-thirds of each sausage. If it doesn't work out for you, then put them in the freezer for about twenty minutes. So it will be easier for you to cut.
- Next, divide the last sausage into two parts and do what is written in the second paragraph. Then you can start cooking octopuses.
First option
You can boil them in boiling water. Then do not forget to straighten the octopus “legs”. Place the finished products on a plate with mashed potatoes or buckwheat. Eyes can be made from olives.
Second option
You can first fry the octopuses in oil, holding kitchen tongs on the "head". Such creatures turn out to be rosy, and their "legs" are very nice twisted.
Octopus from sausages and spaghetti
We examined how to cook marine life only from sausages. In this version, we will also use spaghetti. This dish will appeal to kids and adults with its originality. To prepare you will need:
• 15 pieces of spaghetti;
• 8 buds of cloves;
• 2 chicken sausages.
Creating an original dish
For the preparation of wonderful octopuses, we need only the extreme parts of the sausages. Therefore, we cut each into three parts.
Now we need spaghetti (raw). They need to be broken (although you can not do this). Then gently pierce through the pieces of sausages so that the spaghetti sticks out from two sides. As a result, we get octopus blanks.
Next, boil the dish. This will require a large pot. Pour water into it, put on fire and wait until it boils. Then carefully lower the first octopus there, after a few seconds of the next, and then send the last to cook. It is desirable that our marine life can feel free in a pan, this will allow them to maximize the "tentacles". Cook until cooked for about fifteen minutes over low heat. On packs of spaghetti they write that it takes nine minutes to cook. Extra time is required for the pasta that is inside the sausages to boil well too.
When the octopuses from the sausages are cooked, they need to be pulled out of the water. For these purposes, use a slotted spoon, and then put the "kids" on a plate.
To make marine life even more like real ones, you need to make eyes. To do this, take the buds of cloves and insert into the desired area. Note that before use, these eyes should be removed, otherwise the taste of aromatic seasoning will be too intense.
Before serving, be sure to decorate the dish. For this, you can use canned corn (these will be sea pebbles). Make seaweed from a green cucumber. That's all, the dish is ready.
