Liver Treats

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit…these don’t smell great cooking.  But if you want to get your spoiled dog to do just about anything, make a batch of these.

Ingredients:

1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. cornmeal
1/2 c. wheat germ
1 tsp garlic powder
1 lb. beef liver

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a cookie sheet.

In a blender, liquify the beef liver.

In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and the contents of the blender.  Mix well.

Using a teaspoon, drop the dough onto the lightly greased cookie sheet.  Make the spoonfuls as small or as large as you’d like.  This will determine the size of the treat.

Use a glass or cup to flatten out the spoonfuls of dough.  Hint:  Dip the glass in a little water and cornmeal to keep it from sticking

Bake for 15 to 20 min.

If your dog loves a savory snack, try these chicken liver snacks out.  They’ll be begging for more!

Ingredients:

2 c. whole wheat flour
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 c. wheat germ or cornmeal
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 c. chicken broth
2 tsp. parsley
1 c. cooked chicken livers, chopped

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and grease your baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and wheat germ (or cornmeal).

In another large bowl, whisk the egg and oil.  To this bowl, add the chicken broth and parsley, until it’s mixed well.  Next, gradually add the flour and the wheat germ (or cornmeal) until combined.  Finally, fold in the chopped livers.  Mix until a firm dough forms.

Drop the dough on a floured surface and knead for a little bit.  Roll the dough out until it’s about a ½ inch thick.  Use your cookie cutters or a pizza cutter to cut it into desired shapes.

Bake for 15 min.

*Note:  Because of the livers, I suggest storing these guys in the fridge.

Enjoy!
