This is the cutest sausage ever. I found it on one of my favorite food blogs – Just One Cookbook, where Nami creates an amazing Japanese meals. She also has children and prepares their lunch boxes and I’m sure that she’s tired of me writing all the time how cool it looks. It does! This cute sausage a’la octopus comes from one of this boxes. I made 5 for my big boy – Mr. T. and he was very excited to eat it. It takes only few minutes to make, so if you feel like a sausage for breakfast, make it an octopus style.
You will need:
- sausage
I had a regular one, not short, so i cut it in half and then cut it lengthwise, rotate 90* and cut lengthwise again. You can stick to 4 legs or go further. Fry it over a medium heat with a bit of an olive oil.
I served my “octopus” with eyes made of aniseed, asparagus and tomatoes. It was delicious.
Enjoy, Marta

I really like these – they remind me a little of the way Swedish people serve sausages on the Christmas table – they “octopus” it at both ends, though not so much – just enough to flare it out a little. Really makes them fun to eat doesn’t it?

Bento box madness! I love it. I’m trying this tomorrow. I’m sure my kids are going to flip over it.. especially my son. I actually bought tons of Japanese bento supplies to make cute lunches for my kids the beginning of this school year. I got burnt out as I am not a morning person but I have to start that up again. It was fun even though I was doing it at 6 am 🙂
