Pepper’s Mini Mutt Balls

This is a large batch recipe. It is designed for a pair of large breed littermates and or at a canine birthday party. However, I named them after a small, but mighty little dog named Pepper. She really is a Rockstar.

Ingredients:

2 lbs. lean, organic ground chicken or beef (or natural, antibiotic & hormone free)

1 cup cooked, organic, sprouted, short grain brown rice or quinoa

½ cup grated summer squash or zucchini

½ cup grated broccoli

½ cup grated green beans

½ cup grated carrots

½ cup grated, squeezed celery

½ giant handful chopped kale

½ bunch, chopped parsley leaves

¼ cup coconut oil

2 tablespoons tamari

1 teaspoon garlic

½ teaspoon turmeric

Instructions:

Prepare ingredients as suggested above. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Using food processor, finely grate veggies and strain.

In a stand mixer, combine all ingredients.

Using a small scoop: Scoop 2 inch size balls directly on a baking pan or pans.

Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

Serve as desired

Store in airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days or place in freezer bags for up to 6 weeks.

Bone appetite!
