Step-by-Step Instructions

- In the same pot, gently simmer chicken liver in fresh water for 10-12 minutes until cooked through. Do not overcook to preserve nutrients. Drain and chop finely.

🧊 Safety & Storage
Refrigerate portions in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Freeze individual portions in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight, never at room temperature. Always serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. Discard any uneaten food after 2 hours at room temperature. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw ingredients.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken liver with other organ meats without adjusting vitamin A levels, as liver is critical for skin health. Avoid replacing sardines with tuna due to mercury concerns. Do not omit taurine as cats cannot synthesize this essential amino acid. Quinoa can be replaced with pumpkin puree for cats with grain sensitivities, but adjust moisture content accordingly. Never use onion, garlic, grapes, or raisins as ingredient substitutes as these are toxic to cats.
