My Cooked Foods


As many of you know, I make a cooked parrot food called Psittacine Cuisine. The "recipe" changes a little now and then but it mainly contains:

ACINI DI PEPE (bead size pasta) 1 lb box add to boiling water and cook 9-10 minutes

INCA RED QUINOA (keen wa) add one cup quinoa to two cups water, bring to boil and simmer 15-20 minutes

MIXTURE TO COOK TOGETHER (dry mix = 3 – 6 cups? Water = 6 – 12 cups.)

RED WEHANI RICE – SWEET BROWN RICE – LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE – WILD RICE – OAT GROATS – SPELT BERRIES (Bring twice as much water to a boil, add mixture, simmer for one hour)

STIR IN:

FINELY CHOPPED FENNEL, CILANTRO OR BASIL, RED BELL PEPPER, CARROTS, SOFT COOKED SWEET POTATO, OR ANY FLAVORFUL FRESH PRODUCE!

STIR IN: SHELLED PINE NUTS, HULLED MILLET, SUNFLOWER KERNELS

STIR TOGETHER THOROUGHLY AND FREEZE IN PORTIONS THAT YOU CAN USE IN THREE DAYS. (FREEZER BAGS OR FREEZER WARE) Or, use ICE TRAYS! Once frozen empty into large Freezer Storage Bags and remove a cube or two the night before to have it thawed for warming in the morning.

SERVE WARM NOT HOT

All of the ingredients are organic and cooked with care to avoid them getting mushy. The latest version had finely chopped beets and carrots. As you can see by the cockatiels shown above, they love it. These little guys were mad that I attempted to capture a photo while they were eating. But you can tell by their mush mouths, that they were really into it!
