Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes | Makes: 16-20 balls

Savory homemade meatballs garnished with fresh parsley on a white plate, featuring a flavorful blend of herbs, spices, and vegetables for a delicious meal.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 oz beef liver, cooked and chopped (iron-rich superfood for energy and blood health)
  • 1 cup oats, ground into flour (fiber for digestion and natural binding)
  • 1 fresh egg (perfect for holding these nutrient powerhouses together)
  • 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped (breath freshening and antioxidant benefits)
  • 1/4 cup carrots, grated (beta-carotene for eye health and natural sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup peas, cooked and mashed (plant protein and essential vitamins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper—essential for organ meat baking.
  2. Combine cooked, chopped liver with freshly ground oat flour in large mixing bowl.
  3. Add chopped parsley, grated carrots, and mashed peas, creating gorgeous rainbow of nutrition.
  4. Mix in egg until everything holds together beautifully without overworking (if your pup can wait that long).
  5. Roll into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands—they should feel substantial but not dense.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until firm and lightly browned throughout.
  7. Cool completely before serving—organ meat retains heat longer than regular treats!

Notes:

  • Always let cool completely for safe serving and best flavor development
  • Amber prefers these slightly crispy outside with nutrient-dense, tender centers
  • If mixture seems too wet, add oat flour gradually; too intense, use less liver next time

Storage Tips:

  • Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week in airtight containers—organ meat needs careful storage
  • Freeze individually for up to 3 months for longer storage while maintaining nutritional value
  • Use within recommended timeframes for maximum safety and nutrient retention
