| Sausage bouquet and baked garlic |
First time I saw a
sausage bouquet at
A Mouse On The Table (Visual Food) blog by Rita Loccisano. The bouquet seemed to me a great idea of snack serving. Truly Rita's blog is full of smart food ideas.
I added some carving work to Rita's bouquet and it turned into the sausage bouquet framed in pumpkin.
You need:
a pumpkin of medium size,
sausages,
sprouting onion.
Tools:
paring knife,
toothpicks and bamboo skewers

 |
| Cut the punpkin in parts. One part for a base and a central part for a frame. |
 |
| Take a central part and remove a pumpkin meat . This is a frame. |
 |
| Decorate it with U or V shape knife. |
 |
| Decorate a pumpkin base (it's optional) |
 |
| now set the frame on the base and fix them using toothpicks |

 |
| Set sausages in bamboo skewers. Looks like a reed, does'n it? |
 |
| and arrange the sausages in the pumpkin ring. |
 |
| Add some green onion. Small tomatos made the final look. |
While writing this article I got an idea. If you carve a frog out of green bell pepper and set it on the pumpkin base the reed bouquet will get a completely naturalistic look.
By the way, using salt bread sticks instead of wooden skewers let you make the sausage bouquet absolutely edible!
