About: Enthusiastic about making art with everything around me.

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.

Supplies

  • 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.

Step 1: Spreading the Mashed Potatoes

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.

Step 2: Dyeing the Mashed Potatoes

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

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

Step 3: Carving the Facial Features

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.

Step 4: Adding the Omelet Layer

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.

Step 5: Adding the Eyes

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.

Step 6: The Final Touches

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.


Step 7: Now We're Done

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