I’m Newton the SureFlap mascot and I’ve just opened my very own cat food bistro! Every Thursday, I’ll be sharing a lip-smacking cat food recipe with you that will make your humans suffer from food envy!

The humans have got food on the brain (and I thought only us cats always thought about food). They’re talking about all the delicious things they’re going to cook to celebrate one particular human they call the Queen. Not sure what all the fuss is about there but I thought I’d share a gourmet recipe with you this week so that us cats don’t feel left out!

This week, try my Radiant Regal Rabbit recipe.

Radiant Regal Rabbit

Makes 2 to 3 purrtions

• 100 g (3 ½ oz) rabbit
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 10 g (¼ oz) potato
• 10 g (¼ oz) chicory
• 3 tbsp home-made chicken stock OR ¼ tsp additive-free vegetable stock powder dissolved in 3 tbsp water
• ¼ tsp chopped hazelnuts
• ½ tsp chopped flat leaf parsley

Cut the rabbit into bite-sized chunks (but don’t bite any of them just yet). Heat the oil in a saucepan and brown the rabbit pieces.

Peel and grate the potato and cut the chicory into thin strips. Add the vegetables to the pan. Try not to pay too much attention to this part – you want to keep the illusion that this is a hearty meat dish! Add the stock to the mix, cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Allow the stew to cool in a hidden place; the last thing you want is to be tormented by the awesome smells. Once cool, mix in the hazelnuts and parsley and serve in your finest porcelain cat bowl!
