Tortilla Twists

Good morning! The whether is definitely miserable so we need to put some colour on the table to cheer it up.
Here it is a tasty recipe to make our dogs and human friends smile!
Put your apron on and let’s start cooking!

Ingredients:

    • Tortillas
    • Blacks beans
    • Courgettes
    • Carrot
    • Olive or Seeds Oil

Preparation:

• Cook and blend black beans in a blender. Alternatively you can use a tin of beans and blend them.
• Wash and cut the courgettes into small pieces and blend them too.
• Add a little bit of oil.
• Take a tortilla and spread the cream obtained by mixing beans and courgettes over it.
• Roll them up and place them on a non-stick pan. Warm them up both sides on a medium-high heat. This takes around 20 seconds.
• Repeat this process until you get the desired amount of tortillas for you and your furry and human friends.
• Cut the tortillas in slices and serve.
• Add some grated carrot as a fresh touch.

Tips: we used tortillas, but you can replace them with toasted bread. Regarding the stuff you can use the vegetables you have on the fridge instead of beans. Be creative!

Ingredients:

  • Carrot
  • Courgette
  • Corn
  • Beetroot
  • Radishes
  • Potatoes
  • Beans
  • Small pasta for soup

Preparation:

  • Clean and cut the veggies. No onions!
  • Put them in a pan and cover with water. Light the fire and let them cook.
  • When vegetables are almost ready, add the pasta. No salt!
  • When everything is cooked, let it cool down and serve!

Tips:
We use to prepare this soup for all of us, humans and dogs. What is important is not to use onion, salt, pepper and none of the harmful ingredients for dogs. You can salt to your dish once served.

If you prefer, you can use noodles, rice, cereals instead of pasta. Be creative!

Porridge

Standard

Ingredients:

  • Oats
  • Dehydrated soybean
  • Corn
  • Banana

Preparation:

  • Put in a saucepan oats and soybean. Add some water and let it re-hydrate, if necessary, add some more until the soybean is re-hydrated and the mixture soft and not watery.
  • Add chopped banana and a little bit of pre-washed and pre-cooked corn ad well.
  • Stir, let it cool and serve!

Tips:
If the final mixture is too thick, add some water.
Corn and oat are great, because they are gluten free.
Such as legumes, corn has an external fibber skin, and therefore, is not digested by our furry friends. That is why it will be present in the fices.
Do not worry, everything’s fine!
If your dog suffers from digestive colitis problems, we suggest you to over boil the corn in order to make it more digestible.

Standard

Ingredients:

  • Aubergine
  • Courgette
  • Rice Mozzarella
  • Red Pepper
  • Olive Oil

Guarnish:

  • Basil

Preparation:

  • Clean the aubergine removing the skin.
  • Cut it into thin rectangular slices.
  • Wash the courgette and cut the edges.  Repeat the previous step cutting it into thin rectangular slices.
  • Now it is the turn of the rice mozzarella: same shape and size.
  • Cut two flowers of red pepper.
  • Grill all the veggies. The aubergine slices have to be very well done because raw is toxic for dogs.
  • Serve alternating layers of aubergine, courgette and rice mozzarella.
  • Add a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Guarnish with basil and the red pepper flowers.
  • Now you can serve it!

Tips: at serving you can cut it into pieces for an easier canine approach. Furthermore, you can keep the leftover veggies in the fridge for an upcoming doggy meal. If you wish, you can prepare this lasagna for you as well, but remember to add salt only to your portion. Salt is toxic for dogs.
