| 2 lbs | lean ground lamb |
| 1 cup | quinoa, uncooked, rinsed |
| 3 cups | green beans, trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces |
| 4 large | eggs |
| 2 cups | water, for cooking quinoa |
| 2 tbsp | fish oil |
| 1 tbsp | coconut oil, for cooking |
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water for about 30 seconds to remove any bitter coating.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove quinoa from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
While quinoa is cooking, chop the green beans into 1-inch pieces if using fresh beans.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the chopped green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green.
Drain the green beans in a colander and set aside to cool.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through, breaking up any large chunks.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them together until well combined.
Push the cooked lamb to the sides of the skillet, creating a well in the center. Pour the whisked eggs into the center and scramble them, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fully set.
Mix the scrambled eggs thoroughly with the cooked lamb.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lamb and egg mixture, cooled quinoa, and cooked green beans. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the fish oil to the mixture and stir well to incorporate evenly throughout.
Allow the complete mixture to cool to room temperature before serving or storing.
Portion the cooled food into individual serving containers based on your dog's weight (approximately 1 cup per 20 lbs of body weight per day, divided into meals). Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual portions for up to 3 months.
