Cooking for Your Familiar, I

Muttloaf

1 ½ pounds ground chicken or turkey (or chicken and lamb, if you're feeling extravagant)
1/2 cup chicken liver, finely chopped
½ cup cottage cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup oats
1 tablespoon olive oil or flaxseed oil
1 carrot, shredded
1/3 cup frozen spinach, thawed, excess water removed
1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/3 chopped parsley
3 Boiled eggs, optional

Preheat the oven to 350. In a large bowl mix together the cottage cheese, oil and egg. Add the carrots, parsley, and spinach. Add the meat, liver, and oatmeal and mix together well with your hands. Gently fold in the peas. Mix well to combine.

If using the eggs, press 1/3 of the meat mixture in the bottom of the pan. Line up the eggs and cover with more meat. This recipe makes 2 loaves.

Bake for 50-60 minutes. Cool until barely warm, slice and crumble into your doggie’s bowl.

Note: I made this recipe with 1 lb ground lamb and 3/4 lb ground chicken, and no spinach because I don't know if Zelda likes it or not.
