    Fantastic Fried Fish

    Makes 2 to 3 purrtions

    • 100 g (3 ½ oz) glistening mackerel fillet, skinned and boned

    Cut the mackerel into bite sized pieces. Then, finely grate the courgette (make sure it’s fine so that you don’t notice it amongst all that delicious fish).

    Heat the oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the fish and courgette. Add the weird human additive they call tomato puree, then add the water and rice and simmer for 10 minutes.

    Remove from the heat and cool. (I know, I know, as with all my recipes there’s an excruciatingly long cool down time! They think half an hour is no time… little do they know!)

    Once the food is cool, stir in the cream and basil and serve the Fantastic Fried Fish in your favourite dish!

  • Hi I’m Newton the cat and welcome back to my Bistro! Every Thursday, I’ll be sharing a paw-licking good cat food recipe with you!

    This week, have a go at making my Beautiful Beef.

    Beautiful Beef

    Makes 2 to 3 purrtions

    • 100 g (3 ½ oz) beautiful beef
    • 1 tsp sunflower oil
    • 125 ml (4 fl oz) water
    • 10 g (¼ oz) potato
    • 10 g (¼ oz) French beans
    • ¼ tsp additive-free vegetable stock powder
    • ½ tsp freshly chopped flat leaf parsley

    Cut the beef into very small pieces. Don’t be tempted to get those paws in just yet – it’ll be worth the wait, I promise!

    Heat the sunflower oil in a saucepan and brown the meat until a really great smell fills the kitchen. If they aren’t already, your taste buds will definitely be tingling now.

    Add the water carefully (so that it doesn’t spill on your lovely coat). Then, put a lid on the pan and cook gently for 20 minutes.

    Meanwhile, peel and finely grate the potato. Wash and cut the beans finely. ‘Green stuff’ I hear you meow? Don’t worry; it’ll all work out in the end…

    Add the potato, beans and stock powder to the delicious, mouth-watering meat. Simmer everything for a further 15 minutes.

    Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Get your human to store it out of paw reach so that you won’t be tempted to tuck in early. Once cool, throw in some chopped parsley and serve!

  • 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!
