Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Organic brown rice dry
  • 1/2 cup Lentils
  • 1 cup Garbanzo beans measured after being soaked or 1 1/2 cups cooked
  • 1 cup Great northern or navy beans measured after being soaked or 1 1/2 cups cooked (replace with 1 cup of oats if your dog is over the age of 7 years old)
  • 1 bag Organic frozen spinach (1 lb) NOT thawed
  • 1 bag Organic frozen peas (1 lb) thawed
  • 1 bag Organic frozen green beans (1 lb) thawed
  • 1 bag Frozen broccoli or cauliflower  optional
  • 1 lb Organic carrots shredded in food processor or chopped small (you can also buy them pre-shredded)
  • 1/2 cup Chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup Flaxseed ground
  • 7 cups Water
  • 1 can Organic pumpkin (15 oz) optional
  • 1 1/2 cups Cooked sweet potatoes optional

Instructions
 

  • Shred carrots in food processor or chop into tiny dice by hand. Transfer to pressure cooker. This will be at the bottom of the pressure cooker to prevent burning.
  • Then, change to an S-blade and process cooked or soaked beans to a medium coarseness.
  • Add the ingredients to pressure cooker in order: beans, rice, lentils, oats (for dogs over 7 years old, if using) peas, green beans, broccoli, and spinach plus water.
  • Cook for 12 minutes with natural release. It can take almost 45 minutes for the pressure to come down and release.
  • Remove the pressure cooker lid and stir in chia seeds and ground flaxseed. If adding, stir in 1 can of organic pumpkin and 2 or 3 cooked sweet potatoes. Cool and put into individual containers with tight lids and freeze for future use.
