This Chicken Stew is not to be used to replace commercial dog food, but to add to and
enhance the flavor of these products. -Put Chicken in a big pot and cover with water -Season with dried garlic, rosemary and basil -Cook Chicken until falling off the bones -Remove chicken from broth -Remove bones and skin from chicken -Remove grease either by placing pot and all in the refrigerator until chilled so the solidified grease can be easily lifted out, or use a broth separator to remove the grease. -Add any or a little of all of these previously cooked vegetables: carrots, potatoes, yams, green beans, dried english peas, dried lentils Please note NO salt therefore use frozen or dried vegetables. If using canned, sodium free only. -Cook until vegetables are really soft. -Thicken to the consistency of buttermilk using either corn starch/water or a flour/water mix poured into the boiling stew, this will set up in a hurry so stir quickly. Suggestions: Put flour or corn starch in a little jar with some water and shake vigorously to make a slurry, add some to the boiling meat broth and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until it thickens. If not thick enough, keep doing this until you get it thick enough to suit you. Potato or other vegetable water, if you happen to have water from cooking vegetables use it to cook the chicken, just so long as it does not contain salt. The skin and bones can be put back in the pot to cook until the bones can be mashed into paste using just your fingers. Any bones which you can't mash into a paste without producing splinters goes into the trash. I use to put them in the blender but they really dull the blade quickly. Add this paste to the stew. It doesn't add additional flavor but it is a great source of calcium. |
