Indian Food Cuisine

Today I thought I might share a few of my cocker spaniel Pepper's favorite homemade dog food recipes. I try to give Pepper as much variety as I can. Here are a few that are simple and easy and really nutritious. You will notice that although the foods are cooked the degree of cooking is at a minimum. Meats are cooked well and pasta naturally needs its normal amount of time; but vegetables and such are cooked just enough to blend flavors not to get broken down.

Pepper's Favorite Homemade Dog Food RecipesFestive Dog FoodIngredients: - 4-5 slices of bread (cut into small, 1-inch pieces)- 2 tablespoons of tamari sauce- Six whole cups of chicken or beef stock - teaspoon of salt - 1 tablespoon of oregano- 1 whole stalk of fresh celery - 2 whole carrots (chop these first before using)- 2 onions (chop these first before using)- 4 potatoes (sliced into slim, 1-inch thick pieces)- 2 tablespoons of butter (non-salted or low salt)- Half pound of chicken gizzardsSteps: 1. Fill a pot with water and bring the water to a boil. Pour the gizzards in the water and let the organ meats cook for at least 45 minutes. 2. When the gizzards are cooked, strain the meat but don't throw away the resulting stock. Slice the cooked gizzards. 3. Combine the chicken stock and the stock from the gizzards. Add the sliced gizzards and let the soup cook for an additional ten minutes. 4. Get a medium sized saucepan and put some butter on the pan. Switch the stove to medium heat and cook the butter. Add the vegetables and let the vegetables cook for a few minutes. 5. When the vegetables are cooked, add the vegetables to the soup. The resulting nutritious soup is now ready to be served warm to your dog.

When the mixture is simmering, add the cheddar cheese. Cook the mix until the grated cheddar cheese has melted completely. 5. In a third pan, cook the bread crumbs by toasting the crumbs with butter. Cook for a few minutes and set aside. 6. Mix the resulting cheese soup with the c ooked chicken or turkey. 7. Pour the chicken-cheese mix into a baking dish. Add the sliced eggs and the buttery, toasted bread crumbs.8. Bake the dish for at least 45 minutes. Serve warm.

Pour the chicken stock, too. 6. Bake the pie for at least 30 minutes. Serve warm.

I hope that your dog enjoys these easy and nutritional homemade dog food recipes. Where applicable I will reserve 2 or 3 small portions to be used as treats or snacks for days when Pepper's main meal is something else in order to add to the variety.
