1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat—proper temperature is key for developing rich flavors.
2. Brown diced lamb on all sides until beautifully caramelized—your dog will start getting excited from the therapeutic aroma.
3. Add diced sweet potatoes, chopped green beans, and sliced carrots, stirring to coat with delicious drippings.
4. Pour in low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil—the mixture should look like a rainbow of nutrition.
5. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until lamb is fork-tender and vegetables are soft.
6. Let cool completely before serving—senior dogs especially need food at safe temperatures!
