Tired of purchasing canned dog food our two large rescue dogs wouldn't eat, I decided to make pooch-friendly chow that was savory and good for them. I use converted rice, but pasta, bulgur, or quinoa may all be substituted. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups converted long-grain white rice |
2 teaspoons safflower oil |
2 cups water |
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 cup grated monterey jack cheese |
2 cubes beef bouillon |
1 pound lean ground lamb |
Directions:
1. Combine rice and safflower oil in a saucepan over medium heat; stir and cook 2 minutes. Add the water, thyme, garlic powder, and bouillon. Cover, and cook 15 minutes more over medium heat, or until liquid is absorbed.
2. Meanwhile, cook the ground lamb in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain, then stir into the rice along with the Monterey Jack cheese until the cheese melts. Cool completely before serving.
