I bought some lambs liver tonight, has anyone got a REALLY SIMPLE receipe I can use to feed to the dogs as training treats? Can I just cook and freeze?
Chuck in some plain flour, an egg and a bit of crushed garlic with enough olive oil to make it look like a cake mix. Mix it all up and chuck it in the oven.
I slice the " cake" into small pieces and then continue to dry it off in the oven until it makes smelly but bearable treat size bits (they don't need to be very big in my experience).
Sorry but I don't do quantities, I just mix it up!
My two seem to be happy with whatever concotion I produce so maybe I'm lucky
1lb (450g) Liver (preferably Lambs or chicken, not pig)
OR 400 gram tin of pilchards/sardines
8ozs (200g) S/R Flour or plain - I use plain wholemeal,
2 Eggs
1 teasp garlic powder,
Mixed herbs (if you want)
Put liver into a blender/food processor until the mixture is smooth, pink and runny [not too rigid a requirement if you prefer to make it a bit chunky]. Add eggs, flour and garlic powder and mix into cake mixture. If it's a bit too dry add a bit of milk. I do all of this in a food processor.
Pour into greased (I use that bacofoil 'Release' shiny side down) Swiss roll type baking tin and place in the oven [150] for around 30-40 minutes. After 20 mins I take tray out and score the cake if I use plain flour.
Well it's in the oven now..... and I have one thing to say, that is the first and last time I make Liver Cake!!!!!! I physically feel sick, it stank, still stinks and probably will for days after.... truly awful, think I will get mine off ebay and let someone else who doesn't mind the smell, the mess do it!!!!! Isn't there something more pleasent smelling we can make for our dogs?
My two better appericate this, I tell you I was in two minds to give me half way through! Yuck, double yuck!!!!!!!!
I bought some for the first time this week from ebay... although its great and the dogs love it, I thought the postage charges made it a bit expensive for what it was... so I was thinking I might make my own, especially as the recipe seems really simple. I'm not sure I will now
KerryL, have a look in 'Bradleys Kitchen' and try making the Tuna Cake recipe, that smells lovely when its cooking and the puppies LOVE it Don't think I could do Liver either!
It really was that bad, and I only have a small kitchen which doesn't help - but it turned out really well, and the dogs love it! The smell isn't too bad now, thank-god. Hopefully Benji will shine at training tomorrow with it as his treats!
Kerry, probably because it was your first time it took you a while to do it. I do all my recipe in the food processer , no handling of anything, and it takes about five minutes from start to finish before it's bunged in the oven. I make three trays at a time and it lasts about six weeks, depending on what training i am doing. This is my 'high value' treat. My dogs usually guard the oven, just to make sure that the liver cake doesn't escape you understand. I too have lots of doggie friends when i am out with this stuff in my pocket. sometimes i feel like the pied piper
