Mixed-Meat Taurine Variety Mince

🧺 Ingredients

• 100 g boneless chicken thigh, finely chopped
• 30 g chicken or beef heart, finely chopped (naturally rich in taurine)
• 10 g chicken liver, finely chopped (a little goes a long way)
• A splash of plain water to keep it moist
• Nothing else — no salt, oil, onion or garlic

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Gently cook the chopped thigh and heart together in a dry non-stick pan over low-to-medium heat until no pink remains.
2. Add the small amount of liver towards the end and cook just until it is no longer raw — it needs only a minute or two.
3. Add a splash of water if the pan dries out, keeping the meat soft rather than browned and crisp.
4. Let everything cool, then chop or briefly pulse it to a coarse, spoonable mince.
5. Serve a couple of tablespoons as a topper, and refrigerate the rest for up to two days or freeze in portions.

📝 Notes

This is a treat or topper, not a complete diet — even a taurine-rich mince like this is not balanced on its own, as a full cat diet also needs the right calcium, fats and vitamins. Keep the liver portion small: liver is excellent in tiny amounts but too much causes vitamin A overload over time, so it should stay a minor part of the mix. Cook all the meat through, as raw organ meat carries a parasite and bacteria risk, and never add onion or garlic. Check with your vet before feeding organ meats regularly to a cat with any health condition.
