- 50 g boiled sweet potato
- 50 g mandarin segments
- 8 g ground pumpkin seeds (soaked and drained first)
- 4 g cold-pressed hempseed oil
- 3 g ground turmeric
Instructions
- Prepare the Organs and Muscle MeatSlice the lean beef brisket into small, bite-sized chunks.Trim and dice the beef liver and kidney (or rehydrate freeze-dried versions in warm water for about 10–15 minutes, then chop).
- Drain and Add SardinesOpen the can of sardines, drain off the spring water, and mash the fish lightly with a fork.
- Handle the Egg and BoneCrack the whole egg into a small bowl, making sure to include the thin membrane lining the inside of the shell. Discard the outer shell.Measure out the freeze-dried bone and crush it gently if needed to help mix it evenly later.
- Chop the VeggiesCarrot and red capsicum should be minced or puréed until fine. A small food processor works well here.Lightly steam the broccoli until just tender, then chop finely.Boil the sweet potato until soft, then mash it completely.
- Prep the Fruits and SeedsPeel the mandarin, remove all seeds, and keep the white pith. Cut the wedges into small pieces.Soak the pumpkin seeds for about 10 minutes, drain, then grind into a coarse powder using a spice grinder or blender.
- Mix Oils and SeasoningMeasure out the hempseed oil and turmeric powder. Set aside.
- Combine EverythingIn a large mixing bowl, combine the brisket, organs, mashed sardines, puréed vegetables, sweet potato, and fruit.Add the egg (with membrane), ground bone, pumpkin seed powder, turmeric, and hempseed oil.
- Stir and PortionMix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.Divide the mixture into daily portions based on your dog’s weight and dietary needs. Store extra servings in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
