Crunchy lion sandwich

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 slice of wholemeal bread
• 3 slices of cheese
• 1 carrot, peeled and sliced lengthways
• peel of 1/4 small cucumber
• 2 raisins
• 2 small, round slices of mild salami

Method

Using the photo as a guide, cut the lion’s face from the wholemeal bread and the nose, forehead and mane shapes from the cheese.

Cut a nose tip from the carrot along with the carrot sticks for the plate decoration. Then cut some thin strands of cucumber peel to make the mouth.

Assemble the lion on a large plate, as per the photo, using raisins for the eyes and salami for the ears.
