With a lag, but finnaly made it to turn on the computer :) Here's the recipe for an amazing beetroot cake, which make every dog wag its tail! From the ingredients I used there came out a pretty big cake, so Nuka had 3 approaches to it, before she ate the whole thing. As a siberian husku, she's not gluttonous though, so when she's full, she stops eating (this way the 'cake' served her as a dinner for 3 days). If your pupp is a little gourmand (or you've got a lab), you might wanna adjust the proportions - use half, or even one third of the ingredients :)
What will you need:
- 10 dag chicken stomachs
- 10 dag chicken hearts
- 10 dag chicken livers
- 1 chicken leg
- 100 g white rice (0,5 cup)
- 2 carrots
- 1 leek
- 1 beetroot
- 250 g mascarpone
- treats to decorate
How-bow:
Frosting:
The best thing to start from is beetroot frosting, simply because of the time it takes a beetroot to get cooked. It took mine something between 1,5 up to 2 hours until it got tender. The time you can use to prepare other igredients. When cooked and cooled off, put it in a bowl, add mascarpone cheese and blitz with your hand blender. You can add more or less beetroot dependently on how pink you want your frosting to be. Cool in a fridge.
Layer 1:
Put chicken leg into a pot and cover it with cold water. Bring it to a boil. After 20-25 add giblets and cook alltogether for another 20 minutes. When cooled off, debone the chicken leg and meat with gibblets grind using mincing machine. To gain a more creamy consistency I mixed all using a hand blender. It should be like a pâté (which, technically, it is).
Layer 2:
Carrots and leek cut into a very fine dice (about 0,5 cm). Bring 2 cups of water into a boil and add vegetables and rice. If you use Boil-In-Bag rice, you should cook it separatly from the vegetables, following the instruction on package and then mix them together. I added 0,5 cup of rice to my boiling veggies and cooked it at a slow simmer for 12 minutes, removing lid and stiring it from time to time. Then removed the pot from the heat and let it sit, undisturbed with the lid on, for 10 minutes .
Preheat the oven to 180°C. As a form you're going to need a round casserole vessel. Put a layer of hot rice on the bottom. Then, spread the pâté, put another layer of rice and so on. The other layers of rice don't have to be hot. It's good for the first one though, since steam should help avoid sticking to the vessel. Put casserole into the oven for 20 minutes. After that time cool it off and put for at least 30 minutes to the fridge. Spread the frosting evenly on the top and sides of the 'cake'. Decorate with doggy treats. For that I also used the leftover beetroots, from which I made chips :)
Happy birthday Nuka!
