New Year's Sandwiches Shaped Like Piglets
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. We'll need capelin roe in sauce—not the classic white kind, but the one with smoked salmon—a lovely salmon-pink color that will look perfect on the faces of our little piglets :) I'll make the facial features from carrots and olives; perhaps you'll come up with something else. Shall we get started? Serve the appetizer at the table.

Step 3
Let's move on to the decoration. You will need a pastry tip with a narrow round opening, as in the photo, or other cutters. Slice the carrot into rounds. Use the wide end of the tip to cut out a heel shape; use the narrow end to make 2 holes in it, and add eyes from pieces of olives. Carrot triangles will be the ears. If you like, add a little mouth. A narrow arc for the mouth is made when you cut a heel shape out of a carrot round. With these simple elements, our little pig is ready!

Arrange the piglets on a green bed of lettuce leaves and serve!
