Thanks in advance

Here's the recipe I use - its for a Thermomix but will give you a good idea:

Ingredients:

1/2 kg vegetables (carrots, celery, spinach, cauli, broccoli etc), roughly chopped

1/2kg lean meat or mince (beef, chicken, lamb, pork, kangaroo etc). ('Roo and pork are good for dogs with allergies).

1/8 lambs fry (or similar amount of other offal), roughly chopped

1/4 small tub plain, low fat yogurt

1-2 free range eggs (I use 2)

2 cloves garlic

1.5 dspns flax seed oil

1/2 tspn of vitamin B powder

Up to 2 tspns kelp powder (I use 2)

Any other healthy food scraps eg small amounts of cooked veggies, rice, pasta cottage cheese etc.

Method:

If mincing your own meat, mince it first for 8-15 seconds on speed 7 and set aside.

Chop veggies, garlic and offal in TMX for 6-8 seconds on speed 4 or until it looks like fine coleslaw. Veggie mix should be well chopped, fine enough to make into patties, but not mush.

Add mince and all other ingredients and mix on reverse + soft speed for 8 - 10 seconds until well combined.

Shape into patties and freeze or freeze in serving size portions in plastic bags. Thaw as required.

Thank you muchly guys. Where I live I can not purchase Billinghursts patties so need to make my own.

Yes, once you buy the kelp powder, vitamin B and flaxseed oil, which all last for ages, I find its a really cheap mix - and best of all my babies love it!!
