Shiro's Method
Ensure the lauki is sweet (never use bitter bottle gourd). Peel, discard seeds, and chop into cubes.
Steam the lauki cubes and chicken liver together for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Mash with a fork or pulse lightly in a blender to create a rich, savory gravy.
Stir in the flaxseed meal for an extra boost of essential omega fatty acids.
Spoon over regular kibble or homemade food as a high-value, hydrating topper.
Storage
Keep in a sealed glass container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze in portions.
Serving Amount
2-3 tablespoons daily as a meal topper for large breeds.
