Mashed Potatoes and Omelet As Simba Character

If you have a Kid who is a fan of The Lion King movie and you want to serve him/her his favorite character to eat, then this is the right Instructable for you. However, I can't assure you that he/she will eat it happily because he might feel sorry for it. But still I believe it's worth a try. So let's see how we can make and eat the lion.

• Mashed potatoes ( 2 medium potatoes cut into cubes boiled until done with a spoon of olive oil, salt and pepper).
• Omelet ( 2 eggs beaten well with salt and pepper then fried on medium heat).
• 1 Beetroot.
• 1 Multi-colored bell pepper.
• 1 small eggplant.
• 1 olive.

Now that we have our mashed potatoes done, it's time to make the first layer of our plate:

• Put some mashed potatoes on the plate.
• look at the reference photo and spread the potatoes using a spoon until it resample Simba’s face shape.

Beetroot is a natural dye that you can use to give a pinkish color to food. So, to make Simba's pink nose:

• Cut a small piece of beetroot
• Mix it with a spoonful of mashed potatoes until it turns pink
• Remove the piece of beetroot.

After we're done with spreading the face the way it should be, we now have to outline the facial feature places:

• Use the spoon to even out the surface.
• Dig the eyes places in the mashed potatoes.
• Add more of it above the nose place to make it higher.
• Replace some plain mashed potatoes at the nose place with pink some.
• Shape the nose to look like Simba’s nose.

Now it’s time to give Simba His yellow color:

• Cut the omelet into two halves.
• Put one half on the upper part of the face like a mask covering the eyes.
• Press on the omelet with your fingers to know the eyes places.
• Cut out the omelet there using a knife.
• Cover the rest of the face -expect the area around the mouth and the outer parts of the ears - with more omelet.
• Add two small olive pieces for the nostrils.
• Draw the mouth with a knife.

let's now add the eyes:

• Pick a bell pepper that have green and reddish brown colors.
• Cut two green eye-like pieces and two brown smaller circles out of it.

For the black parts of our Simba we are going to use eggplant skins:

• Cut two small circles out of the eggplant skin for the eye pupils.
• Cut out arches for the eye lids and the outer parts of the ears.
• Use very thin lines of eggplant skin to trace the mouth.
• Don't forget to add white pepper seeds to the eyes to make them sparkle.

ET VOILÀ! we can now enjoy our tasty peaceful lion as a healthy nutritional breakfast.
