Funky packed lunch: King Of The Jungle lion sandwich
- Easy
Fussy eaters won't be able to resist this charming lion-shaped sandwich with its mane of cheese and carrots
Ingredients
- Wholemeal bread
- Sandwich filling of your choice
- cucumber
- black/ red grapes
- ham or red apple skin
- cheese
- carrot
Method
-
Step 1
Assemble your sandwich using the slices of bread and your preferred filling.
-
Step 2
Cut out the head shape from the sandwich and then use a piece of the leftover bread to form a triangle shape for a nose.
-
Step 3
For the eyes, use oval-shaped pieces of sliced cucumber and finish each eye with a grape half.
-
Step 4
Take a slice of cucumber skin and mirror the shape of the bread nose as you cut, then lay it over the top. Cut out a thin tripod-shaped piece of cucumber skin to make the mouth and a semi-circular bit of ham, or red apple skin, for the tongue.
-
Step 5
For the lion’s mane, take some slices of cheese and some carrot sliced lengthways and make lots of triangle shapes.
-
Step 6
Tuck these shapes in between the layers of sandwich, alternating between cheese and carrot to get a good mix of colours.
