Ruff Loves Our Umami Family Recipe
Preparation:
- Prepare the red lentils the night before, rinse them and leave to soak and then rinse again to lower phytate levels
- Add the frozen peas, rinsed quinoa and dry pasta to a large pot together with the soaked lentils
- Chop the carrots, cauliflower and kale (can use celery)
- Remove woody stems from the kale
- Add all vegetables to the pot
- Cover with water and boil on the hob for 30-40 minutes
- Turn on the oven to 180C
- Drain the water but do not throw away, and mash or blend all ingredients well.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and some coconut oil
- Bake the mixture for 40 minutes if crunch required or can feed without baking
- Once cooked, leave to cool on a drying rack with tray inverted so cooked area is on the base
- The remaining drained water is nutrient rich and can be frozen in ice trays for future use or given to your dog to drink while still warm to not waste any nutrients
Nutrient rich icing:
- Add the sunflower or rapeseed oil as well as Omega 3 Vegetology capsules
- Add the coconut and measured amount of JUST BE KIND supplement
- Chop fresh basil and parsley and add to the mixture with dried oregano
- Mix together with a little plant-based milk to form a paste
- ONLY WHEN COMPLETELY COOLED, ice the top of the cooked food
- Cut into squares and fold into ‘sandwiches’ with the icing in the centre
- Place in biodegradable packaging or containers to freeze or refrigerate for each day’s use
Defrost overnight to feed in the morning to your dog.
For larger dogs and large quantities, you do NOT need to follow the baking step. Just feed the food mashed and divide into portions with the ‘icing’ in the next step on the top of the cooled portions (heating the ‘icing’ will destroy the valuable nutrients so always add the paste that is formed to the cooled mashed food).
