Ingredients
-
Canola OIl - 2 tsp
Apples - 2 Fresh apples
Raisons - About 6 raisins
Chives - 2 Tbsp
Directions
Peel the yams and trim into the largest possible rectangular solid you can make. Divide the top of the yam block into thirds and remove a chunk from the "shoulder" for each of the outer thirds. Flip the block over and cut a grove down the center of the bottom. At this point you'll have an awkwardly squareish shape, so use a peeler and a paring knife to whittle the edges until smooth and organic looking. Keep sculpting, scraping, and smoothing until you have a nice vertebrae-shaped silhouette that tapers towards one end.
If you're pieces are satisfactory place all cut yams into a large bowl and toss with olive oi, salt, pepper,l and the fresh herbs. Arrange seasoned pieces into final shape on a baking dish and set aside.
For the skull peel the apples and cut them in half. Use a paring knife or other kitchen utensil (I find my rounded metal teaspoon measure is perfect for coring fruit) to remove the core and cut off any remaining peel around the ends. Flip the peeled apple halves over and use a round utensil to scoop out eye sockets. Arrange apples in a baking dish and stuff the eyesockets with raisins. Brush the top with olive oil or butter to prevent oxidation.
Place yams and apples in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Let cool.
Afterwards set the head where you want it to be on your plate. Then take you green beans and make the spinal cord in the shape you want. After you get it in the shape you want, set the pieces of yam on the green beans so that they fit on nicely.
Enjoy!!!
