- When the tomatoes are ready, chop the rest of the ingredients necessary to prepare the Milanese rice for children and reserve them for a moment.
- Place the chopped onion in a saucepan and fry it with a little oil.
- When the onion is transparent, add the bacon and sausage. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to fully integrate the flavors of these products.

- Cut the half of the sausage you reserved into slices and use 2 slices for the cheeks.
- Make a 45 degree cut on the other two slices on each side, they will be the little pig’s ears. With a wooden stick place the ears in the rice.
- Then use the fifth slice, make a crescent cut and use it for the mouth.
- Take the other half of the sausage and divide it in two: one will be the nose and the other the bowtie. Make two long holes in the nose with the knife and remove the leftovers.
- For the bowtie, divide the sausage into two parts, opening it in half, so there will be two faces. You will have a rectangle, just in the middle cut a triangle above and below, leaving only the space of the knot.
- With another slice in the shape of a crescent, placed in the place of the knot, the bowtie will be ready.
- The final touch… two pepper balls for the eyes.
