What is a casserole?
Casserole is a dish made from various ingredients that are layered or mixed in a dish and baked in the oven. Typical ingredients are potatoes, pasta or rice as a source of carbohydrates, meat or fish as a source of protein and vegetables or cheese as additional toppings. The ingredients are often topped or mixed with a sauce made from cream, eggs or cheese.
How do I prepare casserole for my dog?
You can easily prepare casseroles for dogs yourself. All you need is an ovenproof dish and a few ingredients that your dog tolerates well. Make sure that you don't use any spices such as salt, pepper or garlic, as these can be unhealthy or even poisonous for your dog. Don't use onions or chocolate either.
A simple recipe for a fish and pasta casserole looks like this, for example:
- 200 grams of pasta (whole grain won't hurt)
- 200 grams of fish fillet (or other boneless fish)
- 200 grams of fresh spinach (or a little less frozen spinach leaves)
- approx. 150 grams of sour cream or quark
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet until al dente and drain. Cut the fish into small pieces and wash the spinach thoroughly. Place the fish in a casserole dish and spread the spinach on top. Mix the sour cream or quark with a little water and pour the mixture over the fish and spinach. Sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds and place the dish in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving it to your dog.
