A recipe that can be used as a celebratory treat for your dog on Christmas day.
Choose lean meat, as any fats will be released whilst cooking and make the terrine oily and only cook with a bone-free mince.
Ingredients
1lb raw minced bone free turkey or free range chicken.
2 free range eggs, beaten
200g of cooked, well drained, seasonal vegetables (parsnip, carrot, broccoli, kale etc)
50g of boiled, sweet potato (mashed or thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon of Hedgerow Hounds herbal blend.
Optional- 150g of chopped chicken livers
How to make
Line a loaf tin with baking parchment or lightly grease with coconut oil.
Transfer the meat and optional liver into a large mixing bowl and stir in the beaten eggs to combine.
Pour half the mixture into the tin, levelling off and pressing down firmly with the back of a large spoon. Place a layer of chopped vegetables, then pour in the remaining meat mix, firming down as before.
Bake in the centre of a preheated oven at 180c for approximately 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave for a few minutes. While still warm, gently drain off any excess oil that may be trapped in the tin. Set aside for 30 minutes until cool. It is easier to divide into individual portions if the loaf is placed in the fridge before slicing.
The loaf will keep in the fridge for 5-7 days or you could make it in advance, pop it in the freezer and defrost the day before use.
It will provide a nutritious, tasty, moist meal for your dogs to enjoy.
