Hearty Umami Stew Cooking Instructions
TOP TIPS TO INCREASE NUTRIENT VALUE
- Add a decaffeinated green tea bag to the cooking pot to add in extra antioxidants. Remove the teabag once cooked
- Use fresh oregano if possible for even more nutrients
- For very fussy dogs that do not like ‘mushy food’, add in 1 tsp agar agar warmed in some water to each 500g food give a slimey texture that some dogs love (and it boosts the good gut bacteria)
