Thai Seafood Dinner

Makes 4 servings

Thai fish sauce is one of my favorite ingredients—I always keep it in the pantry. It adds a great intense flavor. Just remember that it can be high in sodium, so a little goes a long way. This recipe is so easy that on one of the days you set aside for cooking, you could make this dinner and a loaf recipe and have a month's worth of cat food in your freezer. This dish will keep for 2 days in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer.

6 1/2 ounce can chopped clams
2-ounce can anchovies
2 tablespoons brewer's yeast
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or 2 teaspoons parsley flakes

1. In a blender or food processor, blend the clams, anchovies, brewer's yeast, and fish sauce.

2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fish mixture with the brown rice and parsley.
    Cook for 10 minutes or until heated through. Let cool and serve.

Rice Tip

Try cooking your rice in beef or chicken broth—doing so adds a lot of flavor. It will also help entice your cat to eat, especially if she is feeling under the weather. Remember, pets are scent driven!
