Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 liters water
2 cups brown rice, uncooked
2 large potatoes
2 large carrots
1/2 kg pumpkin (approx)
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic (or garlic powder)
3/4 bunch silverbeet
1 c wholemeal or soya pasta (macaroni or
1 small shapes)
2 c rolled oats
1 cup wholemeal flour
1/2 kg mince (or liver or fish)
3 eggs
Good handful or herbs (parsley -- sorrel, chives)

Boil the rice in water for 10 - 15 minutes and chop the veges (I put them through the food processor)

Add the veges and pasta to the rice and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to cool (not vital if you're like me and in a rush!)

Add mince, eggs, herbs, rolled oats and flour and mix together. Add more oats or flour if mixture is sticky (should be like a fruit cake mix)

Spoon into oiled and floured loaf tins and bake in a hot oven 180 C degrees for 1 hour.

Remove from tins ,turn oven off and return loaves to oven for 5 - 10 minutes to firm bottom crust.

Take out of oven, leave to cool and use immediately or wrap in foil and freeze. Makes about 3 - 4 loaves.

NOTES : (Suitable for human consumption although you might have to compete with the dog! The quantities are flexible and can be varied - use left overs and other veggies if you want. You need a large pot and about 3 - 4 loaf tins.)
