Pam's Puppy Pate

"I just made this recipe up to use up what I had on hand and to make a yummy meal for my dog. He licked his bowl completely clean and was begging for more. Keep in mind that organ meats are good for dogs. I just had chicken livers but you can use beef liver too. It looks really gross but dogs don't eat with their eyes, they eat with their noses and hungry tummies. LOL!"

directions

  • Rinse your chicken livers and place in a loaf pan.
  • Shred your two types of potatoes into a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes until potatoes are soft.
  • Chop the cooked mixed veggies into fine pieces.
  • Add the potatoes, garlic (if using) and mixed veggies to the loaf pan with your chicken livers. Mix well.
  • Cover your pan with foil and bake at 350º for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into a chicken liver registers 170º.
  • Half way through cooking I pull the dish out and give it a good mix to make sure the chicken livers are completely cooked. Recover with foil and place dish back into the oven. With 5 minutes left I mix the dish again and place it back into the oven without the foil to finish cooking.
  • When dish is cooked I put it in the food processor to make it into a pate. I pulse it until the cooked mixture is completely mixed and almost smooth.
  • Using a medium size scoop I make balls and put them on a plate to cool for a few minutes. I then put the plate into the freezer to flash freeze the meatballs. Once they are frozen I throw them into a freezer safe container or plastic storage bag. I then pull out in the morning what I need to feed my dog that day. Since the balls are individually frozen you can pull out only what you need.
  • If I have any cooked brown rice on hand I will serve the pate with it. If you have any doggie biscuits (homemade or store bought) you can dip those into the pate and feed them to your dog as a special treat.

<img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/homecooking4.gif"/img> I am a California born desert rat (born & raised in 29 Palms; it's a dry heat! LOL!) transplanted in the boonies of New Jersey. Home is where the Air Force sends you and currently it's Jersey so forgetaboutit! LOL! I am a lucky lady. I met my better half and best friend in PE class in high school back in 1984. We have been together ever since. We will celebrate our 21 year wedding anniversary in Nov '08. After being told I could never have children we are blessed with two wonderful children. What can I say except that I love my family!I love to eat! I love to cook (I do have days I'd rather go out and eat LOL!). I'm addicted to Food Network! I watch it everyday. I also watch Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen and some of the cooking shows on the BBC ( Masterchef, Daily Cooks, etc..). Thank goodness for Tivo. ;) My honey on his first deployment to the Middle East in '03: <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/daddy2sm.jpg"/img> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/sp.gif"/img><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/bthome.gif"/img> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/misc414.gif"/img><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/milwife.jpg"/img><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/sparkle%20fairy.gif"/img><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/misc325.gif"/img><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/gallery30.gif"/img><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/pierced.jpg"/img> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/hogwarts.gif"/img><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/innerdork.gif"/img> I am always looking for good recipes to try. I like to try new recipes at least once a week or as our budget allows. My family and friends love being my taste testers. <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/MyFamily.gif"/img> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/Jimbo.jpg"/img> With the last big dog food scare I stopped feeding our big boy commercial dog food. After researching and reading about commercial dog food over the past year and finding out that the dog food companies use nasty stuff not fit for human consumption (roadkill, euthanized animals, slaughterhouse gunk, etc...) I now cook for our family pet. I wish I would have made the switch sooner. Fortunately all his blood tests came back normal after eating some of the tainted food. I have put his favorite home cooked dog food recipes in my "Jimmy Boy" cookbook. My heart goes out to those of you who lost a pet to the tainted dog food. I highly recommend educating yourself about commercial dog foods and dog food companies. It is shocking what they can do and what they can get away with. A good book to read is: "Foods Pets Die For" by Ann Martin. <a href="http://www.newsagepress.com/foodpetsdiefor.html ">click here</a> How I rate recipes: If I make a dish and do not like it I don't rate it. I'd hate for someone to leave a bad rating on one of my recipes so I don't do it to others. I figure we are all different and we all have different tastes. Who am I to tell someone that their favorite recipe needs work because my tastes are different? <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/521430/clean%20kitchen.gif"/img> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
