2 large eggs (slightly cooked)
3/4 tablespoon bone meal
1/2 teaspoon potassium
1 tablespoon safflower oil

I find the sardines rather smelly - so I substitute 4 oz of cottage cheese or ground turkey (I usually do both!). My hubby hunts, so I sometimes replace the hamburger with deerburger. Do not substitute ground pork. Since I removed the sardines (a very important ingredient), then I squeeze a fish oil caplet every other day over her breakfast. I also add 1/3 childrens multivitamin daily (the ones without artificial sweetener). Feel free to add 1 oz of liver to the batch - its good for them. All human grade products.
I get the bone meal and potassium from iherb.com.
I first made a batch without all the supplements - just to see if Bailey liked it. SHE LOVED IT - so its been this recipe ever since!
I serve one spoonful per serving (the larger spoons) twice a day. It doesnt seem like much - I know. I store it in 10 oz plastic containers about 3/4 full in the freezer- one container lasts about 3 days.
Tip: I put the raw eggs in the hot rice and let it sit a while (hence partially cooked eggs) |
I'm concerned that in this recipe, the hamburger can be 80% lean; this is still too high in fat. If you have ever fried it, there is a lot of fat left in the pan, some people boil it, and this would remove some of the fat as well, but this recipe is raw I believe, and that's an awful lot of fat. By the way, I'm not suggesting frying it.
