I’d personally want to give a multi with a recipe like that. Just a small dose for assurance. Maybe 1/4 – 1/2 of a human once daily type multi vitamin/mineral – especially for cooked food as some nutrients are lost during the cooking process. Steve Brown has a great “pre-mix” that’s very reasonably priced and would give you the assurance of knowing the meal is balanced. I believe one bag is enough for 26 lbs. of meat (or somewhere around there) and it only comes up to around $11 a bag if you buy a six pack. A cooked recipe like that could definitely be balanced without multivitamins, but it would take a lot more ingredients than that. It also really comes down to variety. I mean no this recipe probably isn’t completely balanced, but if you’re feeding a very wide variety of foods at each meal it would likely balance over time.
