Christmas Dish for Dogs and Humans

Lentil Patties with Pumpkin Puree and Potatoes

1 Daily Serving for a 15kg Dog (33 lb)

Pumpkin, potatoes, lentils, tofu and dog? The perfect combination in winter. And this Christmas recipe is not only delicious for our canine companions, but is also great for filling our tummies. So there's no double effort and we can feast together. Simply omit V-Complete for your plate and everything fits.

The cooked potatoes are an easily digestible source of energy. As potatoes belong to the nightshade family, they contain solanine when raw, which is poisonous in large quantities. They must therefore be cooked before eating.

Lentils and tofu complement each other wonderfully in the patties to provide protein. And the pumpkin is a vibrant splash of colour that adds its delicious sweetness to the dish. So all taste receptors are delighted.

The spices can develop their flavours and digestive properties particularly well as I grind them in the spice mill. This releases the essential oils. But of course you can also do without. I just really enjoy using the grinder.

And off we go with the cooking...


Ingredients

Ingredients

200 g Potatoes
100 g Lentils (dried)
400 g Pumpkin
50 g Smoked Tofu
20 g Coconut Flour
20 g Tomato Paste
20 g Canola Oil
2 g Salt - 125mg per kg Dog
Some Savory
2 Piece(s) Bay Leaf
Some Cumin
Some Nutritional Yeast
Some Lovage

Preparation

Preparation

  • Cook the lentils with a little savoury and bay leaves. I opted for a mix of red and green lentils. However, you can also use just one type.

  • Peel and boil the potatoes.

  • Wash the pumpkin, cut into small pieces and cook with a little water in a closed pan over a low heat. Tip: Add some lovage at the end of the cooking time. This gives the pumpkin a delicious savoury flavour. (Unfortunately, I forgot to add it during the photo shoot 🤫).

  • And very important: Now a short intermediate step: Cuddling with Eddie. I recommend doing this with your favourite dog.

  • Stir the pumpkin once and when the lentils are cooked, pour off the remaining water, remove the bay leaves and leave to cool slightly on a flat plate. 

  • Drain the potatoes and pumpkin, mash well with a fork so that they can be easily digested, season with salt and leave to cool slightly.

  • Mash the lentils well with a fork, or if you have a blender, you can also use it to finely puree the lentils.

  • Finely crumble the smoked tofu and add to the lentils. Also add the coconut flour, cumin, tomato paste and nutritional yeast. Mix everything well and shape into bite-sized patties.

  • Now it's time to fry. Heat some of the canola oil in a pan and fry the patties over medium heat until brown and crispy on both sides. Then leave to cool on a plate.

  • Mix the cooled pumpkin puree with V-Complete and the remaining canola oil.

  • The dish is ready to be arranged: Add pumpkin puree to the bowl alongside mashed potatoes and lentil patties.

  • The feast is ready to be savoured.

  • If your dog prefers to enjoy all the flavours in one, you can also stir the dish. Eddie really liked it like this too.

  • Conversion table for dogs with different weights.

Curly - Keep Nourished
DHA & EPA rich oil from Algae (BBD 4.7.2026)

CurlyFeed Material for DogsCurly is our vegan DHA and EPA oil made from algae. A high-quality Omega 3 oil for dogs that can specifically support the health of your companion.Why omega-3 is so importantOmega-3 fatty acids are essential for many bodily functions: they support the heart and circulation, promote brain development, have anti-inflammatory properties and contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat.In our detailed blog post you can find out what DHA and EPA are important for and what is special about Curly.Curly's BenefitsCurly is made from 100% pure algae oil - no unnecessary omega-6 fatty acids, no calorie trap as you only need a small amount.The vegan and environmentally friendly alternative to salmon oil for dogs - Good for your Dog and the Planet.Our oil for Curly comes from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. - one of the few types of algae that naturally produce a very high concentration of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). It is also easy to grow and is cultivated sustainably in closed tanks in the USA. This means we can guarantee that our algae do not come from the sea and do not jeopardise marine ecosystems and the nutritional basis of fish.Side NoteAs sometimes it happens in life, a small mistake occurred in the labelling of the first batch. The label has slight colour abrasion in some places, see photos.Fortunately, the oil in the bottle is in perfect condition and has all the valuable ingredients that the oil is supposed to have.Now the good news for you: Curly is now available with an extra bonus in the form of a 10% discount.Feeding RecommendationThe demand for EPA and DHA can vary depending on the dog's age, activity and any existing medical conditions. Our Curly is a highly concentrated algae oil containing approx. 378mg DHA and 95mg EPA in 1ml.We recommend a dosage of 1ml per 10kg body weight. One teaspoon corresponds to approx. 4ml.Curly can be optimally combined with our kibble Greta, canned food Pauline and our home-cooking recipes.StorageAfter opening, Curly should be stored in a cool place protected from light, ideally in the refrigerator, as the algae oil develops an intense marine odour and taste when exposed to light and at room temperature, although this does not have a negative effect on the potency of the oil.Let your dog decide!
