  • pumpkin ~ 75 grams
  • shiitake mushroom ~ 10 grams
  • cooked brown rice ~ 30 grams

  • wheat germ oil ~ 5 grams
  • egg shell powder ~ 1 gram
  • supplement : 450mg calcium carbonate + 200IU vitamin D ~ 1 tablet

Instructions

  • dice pork liver so it cooks faster and evenly
  • finely dice carrots, pumpkin, shiitake mushroom and coriander

  • mix in pork liver and continue to cook for 3-4 mins
  • mix in minced pork and brown rice then continue mixing slowly until the pink colour of the minced pork just starts to turn to a pale light brown 
  • turn off heat and continue to gently stir for a minute ~ residual heat will continue to cook the meats
  • remove from heat and let the food cool
  • mix in wheat germ oil and egg shell powder as the food cools
  • separated portions into feeding bowls / storage containers

Before serving:

  • crush 1 tablet of calcium carbonate & vitamin D supplement
  • add half of the crushed tablet supplement into each meal portion before serving

Storage Instructions:

  • do not add calcium carbonate and vitamin D supplement if storing ~ only add before serving
  • Refrigerating ~ store in airtight container – consume within 2 days 
  • Freezing ~ good for up to 2 weeks 
  • best served slightly warm as this increases the palatability of the food
