New Born Golden Retriever Bourguignon
Parakeet a la King
Dijon Rack of Doberman
Sweet and Sour Koala Loaf
Kitten Livers with Onion Marmalade
Citrus Buttered King Snake

 

New Born Golden Retriever Bourguignon
Yield: 4 servings

5 medium onions sliced
2 ts shortening
1 Ts salt
1/2 Ts crushed thyme
1 1/2 tb flour
1 1/2 c red burgundy
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms
1 new born golden retriever (ready to eat)
1/2 Ts crushed marjoram
1/8 Ts pepper
3/4 c beef stock

Cook and stir onions and mushrooms in hot shortening until onions are tender, drain on paper towels.

Brown meat in same skillet, add more shortening as necessary. Remove from heat. Sprinkle seasonings over the retriever. Mix flour and retriever stock, pour into skillet. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Stir in burgundy. Cover, simmer until retriever is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

The liquid should always just cover the meat. (If necessary, add a little more bouillon and burgundy - 1 part bouillon to 2 parts burgundy.) Gently stir in onions and mushrooms, cook uncovered 15 minutes, or until heated through.

 

Parakeet a la King
Yield: 2 servings

6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups parakeet or vegetable broth
1 cup light cream (half and half)
1 cup diced parakeet
1/2 cup chopped pepper
1/2 cup pimento Melt butter and brown flour in it. Add salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, then stir in parakeet broth and cream. Boil for 1 minute. Add diced parakeet, pepper, and pimento. Heat through.

 

Dijon Rack of Doberman
Yield: 4 servings

2 racks of Doberman (approx. 1.5 LB ea)
salt and freshly ground black
pepper, to taste
3 TB Dijon-style mustard
1/2 c butter (1 stick)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 c plain bread crumbs
2 TB parsley, fresh and finely chopped

Season the racks of Doberman with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy frying pan and brown the fat on top of the Doberman over high heat. This will take 1 or 2 minutes and no oil is needed. Remove the meat from the pan and allow to cool. Rub the meat (not the bones of the Doberman) of each rack with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mustard. Set aside.

In another frying pan, heat the butter and in it sauté the garlic a few seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the bread crumbs and parsley. Coat the Doberman with the bread-crumb mixture by rolling the racks of Doberman directly in the frying pan of bread crumbs. There should be a coating of bread crumbs on the meat only, not on the bones. Place the racks on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast in a preheated 450-degree oven for 15 minutes for rare. (Add 10 minutes if you like it medium, but be careful not to overcook.) Remove the pan from the oven and allow the meat to stand in a warm place (but not on top of the stove) for 5 minutes. Slice into individual bone sections and serve at once.

 

Sweet and Sour Koala Loaf
Yield: 4 servings

2 LB ground Koala
1 cup cracker meal
1/2 cup water
2 eggs beaten
1 onion chopped
salt and pepper as desired
11 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar

Combine every thing except half of the tomato sauce, lemon juice and sugar. Shape meat mixture into loaf (we like to reform the meat into the shape of a living koala) and place in a baking dish. Combine the remaining tomato sauce, lemon juice and sugar and pour over meat loaf. Bake 350 degrees covered about 40 minutes, basting frequently. Then uncover and bake about 15 minutes more or until koala loaf is done.

 

Kitten Livers with Onion Marmalade
Yield: 2 servings

1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup snipped fresh chives
1/2 cup sliced white onion
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1/2 cup sliced leeks
3 large shallots, sliced
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup Sherry
1/2 cup half and half
salt and pepper
1/2 LB kitten livers

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add chives, onions, leeks, shallots and garlic and cook until tender. Add sherry and stir until no liquid remains. Increase heat to high. Add half and half and boil until reduced, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.

Melt remaining butter over medium-high heat. Add kitten livers and cook to desired doneness. We recommend eating kitten livers medium rare.

 

Citrus Buttered King Snake

16 oz (2) fresh King Snakes (Ready to Eat) 1/2 c water 1/4 c butter 1 TB lemon juice 1/2 Ts finely shredded orange peel 1/8 Ts salt dash ground ginger dash paprika Bring a pot full of water to a boil. Place king snakes in boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes or just till meat is opaque.

Testimonials
School Lunch
"Our school district was quickly running out of money and the only place we could cut back was in the school lunch program. Thanks to Pets or Food, we're able to offer hot, meaty lunches every day! The kids especially like the groundhog meat loaf. They jokingly call it mystery meat. If only they knew!"
