Supplies
Materials Used:
* 1 Eggplant
* 1 Red Pepper
* 1 Onion
* Toothpicks
* Wooden Skewers (25 cm)
* Roti String
* 1 Big Knife
* 1 Little Sharp Knife
* 1 Round Cookie Cutter
* 1 Citrus Zesteur
Step 1: Prepare All the Necessary Materials and Ingredients.
To make this preparation, you have to work the vegetables very cold so that they are more rigid.
Step 2: Cut the Leaves of the Eggplant
Cut off the few leaves of the eggplant and leave only the stem.
Step 3: Cut the Eggplant
Use the tip of the large knife on the eggplant to draw lines to delimit the cut. Then cut to give the actual shape of the vessel hull. Set aside the half that is not to be used.
Step 4: Digging the Eggplant
Hollow out half of the largest eggplant, in other words the hull of the vessel. Cut thin slices to begin to outline the edges, then dig in with the citrus zester.
Step 5: The Mats of the Vessel
Drive a Wooden Skewer vertically and another diagonally at the front of the vessel.
Step 6: Cut the Onion
Cut a large onion in half and peel it. Tear off 5 leaves, from the largest to the smallest.
Step 7: Making the Sails
Thread 3 large onion leaves on a Wooden Skewer. Then 2 smaller ones on the second Wooden Skewer.
Step 8: The Guardrails
Cut a few toothpicks in half and press them all around the edge of the eggplant, leaving the same space between each.
Step 9: The Portholes
Use the cookie cutter to make the holes for the portholes.
Step 10: The Ropes
Make a small loop with the Roast String to tie to a small toothpick, then extend it to each of them by making a turn of the wire around. 901
Walk around the vessel 3 times. Then pass the rope around the sails. Then tie a knot again at the starting point.
Step 11: The Helm
Cut a small piece of eggplant and press in a few halves of toothpicks. Push it into the back of the vessel.
Step 12: The Flags
Cut 2 triangles in a red pepper. Then fix them at the top of the sails.
Step 13: We Are Ready to Sail !!!
Place a little greenery around the vessel to present it and bring to the table. Your guests will be won over by this very original vegetable-based presentation. 901
