Mama Porkpies Dog Food For Little Fatties Recipes

DOG FOOD FOR NORMAL, FUSSY, FAT, THIN AND DIABETIC DOGS

Steps:

• If you are making the recipe as shown, before you start to prepare it, make sure you have a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients. A very large stock pot is great and essential.
• Chop or slice the carrots, potatoes, celery and meat (other than minced meat) to a size that suits your dog.
• Add the above ingredients to the pot.
• Add the drippings, or soy sauce and stock cubes to the pot. If you don't make roasts, see if your neighbours will save their drippings. This recipe can be made without the drippings or soy sauce/stock cubes, but I think the doggies deserve this luxury. You can freeze drippings.
• Add the water to the pot. You may need to reduce the amount of water. It will depend on the moisture content in the vegetables and meat. These days, I use about 12-14 cups of water.
• Put the pot on the stove top, over a high heat.
• Let it cook for about one hour.
• Then -- assuming the mixture has come to a boil -- add the barley. Don't add the barley until the boil happens (it doesn't have to be a big rolling boil).
• After adding the barley, cook for another 30-35 minutes (depending on what the barley package suggests.
• This recipe really holds its heat, so let it cool for at least four hours before serving. Better still, make the recipe in the morning (weekends are good), then dish up the servings for the evening meal and let them cool all day.
• Store in the refrigerator after completely cooled. Freezes well.

MAMA PORKPIE'S DOG FOOD FOR LITTLE FATTIES

Steps:

• 1. This recipe, as is, yields approximately 4-5 quarts, which is more than a small or medium-sized dog can consume while it remains good in the refrigerator. Therefore, the first step is to go to the dollar store and buy 8-10 pint-sized freezer containers. Heck, spend a lot more money and buy Tupperware if you want. Or if you are particularly ambitious, pack the finished product into canning jars and seal them. I prefer to just freeze it in pint containers until ready for use.
• 2. Open the cans of veggies and drain the liquid into the largest measuring cup you have, as much as possible. You should get about 3 cups of liquid but if not, add water to make exactly 3 cups. This is when I hate cooking with the beets because my water and stuff always ends up red! UGH!
• 3. Put the liquid into a 5-quart dutch oven on the the stove and bring to a boil.
• 4. Add the brown rice, stir, cover, and turn to low heat. Set the timer for 45 minutes. If it gets done before you are done with the next 2 steps, just move it aside somewhere off the heat without removing the lid or disturbing it in any way.
• 5. While you are waiting on the rice, cook the chicken or turkey meat in a frying pan until completely done. Transfer it into a fine-mesh colander and place in the sink to let the liquid drain out while the rice is cooking.
• 6. If you are using vegetables that have pieces larger than 1/2" then you need to use this time to cut them down further. For example, my dogs love beets but the only salt-free variety I can find are sliced beets. I chop the slices into small dice, and I do the same with the green beans.
• 7. Also use this time to prepare the parsley. THE DREADED PARSLEY!! This part is important. First clean it as you normally would, then remove all the large stems so that what you have left are just the tiny sprigs. Then transfer the sprigs to your food processor. If you don't have one, get out your biggest, sharpest knife and start chopping. The parsley needs to be VERY finely chopped. If not, you will find it all over the floor after Fido's feeding time. Babies don't like the texture of whole parsley and will spit it out. It is, however, good for their breath and digestion and it's very low-cal.
• 8. When the rice is done and has been taken off the heat, open the lid and add the meat, stir well.
• 9. Add all the vegetables, stir well.
• 10. Add the parsley. Mix thoroughly.
• 11. Pack the mixture into pint-sized containers and store properly, keeping one out for immediate use.
