Description
A recipe for making dry, crispy dog kibble using lamb and parsnips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 2 cups parsnips, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Steam or boil the chopped parsnips until very soft, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked parsnips, ground lamb, whole wheat flour, water, egg, and coconut oil.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a stiff dough forms.
- Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into small, kibble-sized pieces.
- Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the kibble inside with the door slightly ajar for another 1 to 2 hours to dry out completely and become crispy.
- Store the cooled kibble in an airtight container.
Notes
- Adjust water content if the dough is too dry or too wet; you want a firm dough that holds its shape.
- For extra crispiness, you can bake for an additional 15 minutes at a lower temperature, like 250°F (120°C).
- This recipe makes a small batch; double the ingredients for a larger supply.
