1 medium onion, chopped

1 Tablespoon fresh parsely, chopped

1 chicken stock cube, dissolved in 1 Tablespoon of boiling water

1 large apple, peeled, cored and grated

2 Tablespoons of bread crumbs

Salt and pepper

Flour for coating

Oil for sautéing

 

1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

2 Tablespoons milk

2 Tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper

 

1 carrot, peeled and cut into strips

16 frozen peas

Ketchup

Shredded Savoy Cabbage, Spinach Leaves, or other green for “grass”

 

Put a pot of water on to boil. Peel and chop your potatoes and when the water is boiling, add them.  When done, drain and mash with milk, butter and seasoning.  Meanwhile, add everything for the sausages into the food processor (chicken, bullion, apple, onion, parsley, bread crumbs).  Whir it around for a few minutes until it’s all blended. Add some salt and pepper. Whir again and then put it all into a bowl. Meanwhile, place a few tablespoons of flour on a plate.  Form into 4 sausages, about 5 inches long and coat them in flour.  Heat oil in pan, sauté for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides and cooked through. While they’re cooking, throw your frozen peas and carrot strips into a steamer basket. Boil a bit of water in a pot, add the steamer basket and cover, cooking until the veggies are tender, about 3 minutes or so. To form the snails, start by placing a sausage on a plate. Add a mound of potato above the sausage using an ice cream scoop. Sort of flatten it a bit. Using a toothpick, draw a spiral to form the shell of the snail. Get a small plastic baggie and put some ketchup in it. Squish it down toward the corner and then use a scissors to snip just a little bit of the corner off so that you have a small hole. Use this to make a ketchup spiral on the potatoes.  Next, the decorations. You’ll need four peas and three carrot strips. Add four small dots of ketchup where the eyes and the bottoms of the feelers went to help them stick. Place two of the carrot strips as feelers. Place two peas for eyes and two for the end of the feelers.  Add the last carrot strip for the mouth.
