Creepy Cooking: Hot Dog Jellyfish
Ingredients:
- 1 tin of Ye Olde Oak Hot Dogs
- Dried Spaghetti
Method:
1. Do not pre-cook the hot dogs. Take out of tin and cut each hot dog into about 4 pieces.
2. Snap spaghetti in half and stick about 5 or 6 pieces in each hot dog piece.
3. Carefully insert jellyfish into a pan of boiling water and cook for approximately 10 minutes (as you would normal pasta).
4. Take each one out carefully. The spaghetti manages to cook but keep inside the hot dog meaning the jellyfish tentacles stay in place!
5. Serve on a plate, you could add spinach or kale as seaweed for an additional effect.
