Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup boneless, cooked white fish (such as cod or haddock)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup low sodium fish broth
  • A pinch of dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect 1 cup of cooked quinoa, 1 cup of boneless cooked white fish, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup peas, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 cup low sodium fish broth, and optionally dried parsley.
  2. Prepare Quinoa: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove bitterness. Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan, add rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff quinoa with a fork.
  3. Cook Fish: Ensure the white fish is boneless and cooked through using your preferred method (boiled, baked, or steamed). Flake into small pieces.
  4. Prepare Vegetables: Finely chop carrots and thaw peas if frozen. This ensures they are easy to chew and digest for your dog.
  5. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently fold together the fluffed quinoa, cooked fish, chopped carrots, peas, and olive oil. Stir in fish broth to add moisture and flavor.
  6. Add Optional Parsley: Sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley if desired for a fresh, mild flavor and added nutrients.
  7. Cool the Blend: Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature before serving to your dog to prevent burns or discomfort.
  8. Serve: Portion the blend according to your dog’s size and dietary needs, storing any leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
