Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Halloween Jellies Introduction & Inspiration Halloween jellies are lots of fun to prepare, and make a great addition to hot dishes like soups or stews. They can make your meals decidedly spooky, while all the while adding a tremendous depth of flavour to your culinary delights! They are also frighteningly easy to prepare, so bring your wobbly Halloween Jellies to the party! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes ( To Note: The Halloween Jellies will need to be placed in the fridge, for several hours or ideally overnight). Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 6 x Halloween Jellies Main Ingredients: 300ml Oxtail Cooking Juices Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Make the oxtail cooking juices as per the recipe instructions. Allow the juices to set in the fridge to form a layer of cooking juice underneath and a layer of oxtail fat on top. *Remove most of the fat from the top of the cooking juices, so that your Halloween jellies will have a tiny layer of fat to contrast the darker jelly colour when fully set. Place the cooking juices and a small amount of oxtail fat into a pan on low heat with some salt and melt into a liquid. Divide the liquid evenly between the Halloween Jelly moulds. Place tray in the fridge until the Halloween Jellies have fully set. When you are ready to serve them, briefly place them in the freezer (10 minutes or so. This will make them nice and firm, so that you can remove the jellies easily from their moulds without them breaking if you have more intricate Halloween mould patterns). Happy Halloween! Tips Ideally, purchase your meat and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. For slightly sweet Halloween Jellies, add a small amount of honey to the pan on low heat and stir until all the honey has melted in the cooking juices. Check out my Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make the oxtail cooking juices. If you do not have any oxtail cooking juices, substitute with a very gelatinous bone broth or with beef cheek cooking juices. It just needs to be thick enough to set once refrigerated.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Bone Marrow Baskets Introduction & Inspiration Bone Marrow Baskets are a fun and novel way to serve your meal, and become lovely and creamy when filled with warm meat dishes. They are nice to make when you are aiming for a slightly fancier meal for your friends or family. They are still quick and easy to whip up, yet offer an extra touch of class. They can also be made ahead of time. Try making them, and see for yourself how your whole meal is transformed. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Bone Marrow Baskets (Diameter 7cm x 4cm Deep) Main Ingredients: 70g Whipped Bone Marrow Recipe Instructions Cover two small ramekin tins with clingfilm, and push the clingfilm inside the ramekin tins. Turn the ramekin upside down and using a spatula, spread half of the whipped bone marrow evenly to cover all of the base and sides of the ramekin, so that when the bone marrow sets it will form a bowl shape. Proceed to coat the second ramekin in the same way. Place the ramekins on a small tray and put them in the freezer until the bone marrow is set hard. Remove the tray from the freezer. With one hand carefully hold the bone marrow basket, and with the other, slowly slide the ramekin tin from the basket. Now carefully remove all the clingfilm from the basket. Repeat, for the second basket. Place the Bone Marrow Baskets in an airtight container in the freezer until you're ready to use them. Tips For PKD ratio purposes, simply weigh the bone marrow baskets and depending on your other ingredients, adjust your ratios accordingly. So for example if using 200g uncooked lean minced meat and the bone marrow basket is only 50g, I would add 20g of extra fat in the form of a few strips of pork back fat etc. Ideally, purchase your bones from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free.

Regime Type: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs Brain Mayonnaise Introduction & Inspiration Discover the creamy delight of a new mayonnaise variation made with brain. Not only does it taste exquisite, but it’s also an excellent alternative for those who can’t tolerate eggs. Packed with nutrients, this simple recipe is a breeze to whip up. As the mayonnaise cools and chills in the fridge, it thickens slightly, achieving the perfect consistency. Use it as a delightful substitute for Philadelphia spread too! For a touch of extra flair, consider adding a touch more water or bone broth to create a slightly runny mayo. The best part? You’re in control! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 100ml Brain Mayonnaise Main Ingredients: 40g Lard 50g Pig Brains - Poached 25ml Water or Bone Broth Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Prepare the pig brains - poached as per the recipe instructions. Once poached, add the brains to a pan, together with the fat and the water or bone broth and salt. Cook on a low heat for a few minutes until all the fat has melted. Pour the pan juices into a high speed blender and blend until nice and smooth. Pour the contents into an airtight glass container. Once the brain mayonnaise is cool, add the lid and place the pot in the fridge. When you're ready to use the mayonnaise, simply give it a good mix up with a spoon until you achieve the desired consistency. Enjoy! Tips You can also use oven roasted bone marrow if desired. The mayonnaise will be a slightly different colour and set a little harder than the lard in the fridge, but it will still be possible to mix it up into a nice consistency again. Bone Broth can also be used as opposed to water. You can also adjust the amount of liquid, should you wish the mayonnaise to be slightly thicker or runny, depending on preference. The brain mayonnaise is a great way of adding fat to your dishes. For every 10ml of brain mayonnaise used, accompany this with approx.10g of meat for a good PKD ratio. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate brain mayonnaise into various dishes. It's fine to substitute pig brains with veal brains or lamb brains. Video

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Tasty Pork Crackling Burger Patties Introduction & Inspiration These pork crackling burger patties are deliciously juicy and tasty, with a slight chewiness thanks to the pork crackling. They are perfect as they are, and also taste wonderful on flat bottom pork muffins too. Making these patties couldn't be easier. So go on, give them a try!

Blend briefly, until all the ingredients are well combined, but avoid over blending. Place a pastry circle (or burger patty circle) on top of a piece of greaseproof paper. Add half of the patty mixture from the blender into the circle. Use a spoon/burger patty press to press the patty down into a nice burger patty shape. Carefully remove the circle from around the patty. Repeat, to make the second burger patty. If you're not cooking your burger patties straightaway, place the patties in an airtight container in the fridge, otherwise go ahead and cook the patties in the oven until cooked to your liking. Add a little bone marrow mayonnaise to the tops of your burger patties when serving and drizzle with any cooking juices. Enjoy! Tips Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.

Some fat will be rendered during the cooking process so be sure to pour this back over your burgers once cooked. Add some bone marrow mayonnaise (or other animal fat if you are avoiding eggs) to the tops of your burger patties to retain a good PKD ratio. If you don't have any pork crackling available, then simply use beef crackling, pork back fat, lard, tallow, bone marrow or other animal fat to ensure a good PKD ratio of meat to fat.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Tripe Buns Introduction & Inspiration Tripe buns are a great way to start introducing tripe into your repertoire of offal. It has a very mild flavour and combines nicely with the other ingredients. The buns are both moist on the inside and yet do not fall apart despite using no eggs. They are nice to eat plain, with a little pâté on top, or with a touch of honey or fruit coulis for a slightly sweeter version. Give them a try and see what you think.

Use a spatula to add the pan ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend until the mixture is nice and smooth.

Once done, brown the buns for a couple of minutes. Keep an eye on the buns towards the end of the cooking to ensure they do not burn! Allow the buns to cool once out of the oven before serving. You can also allow them to cool fully, before placing them in an airtight container in the fridge to have cold. Tips Ideally, purchase your offal and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. *These buns can simply be more savoury in nature by omitting the honey. Add a little extra touch of salt too for the savoury version. Any ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances. If you are unsure, refer to the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet Rules document or consult with ICMNI in Hungary ( Home - Nutriintervention ). Any honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. 'Browning' Some functions of ovens enable you to brown the surface of the food by activating the grill once cooking is complete. When using the 'Browning' setting on your oven, monitor closely the crust so that it doesn't burn at the last minute. Check out my Pork Jelly Cubes, Lard and Pork Crackling - Air Fryer, Bone Marrow Liquid and Crumbs and Beef Tripe - Pressure Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these.

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Meat Flake Buns Introduction & Inspiration I love creating buns out of nutrient dense ingredients, that don't require the use of traditional flour. The meat flakes allow the creation of such lovely buns and provide wonderfully moist and flavoursome balls of goodness, with no real effort. The sour cherries add an extra dimension to the flavour profile. They are ideal both warm and cold, as a snack or a main meal, and are very portable when out and about. I hope you will give them a try. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 12 x Meat Flake Buns Main Ingredients: 40g Lard 60g Egg Yolk 130g Beef Tripe With Beef Flakes 10g Sour Cherries (chopped into little bits) 50g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes Pinch of Salt (Optional) 35g Honey (Optional - for a slightly sweeter bun as a Dessert option) Decoration (Optional for Spring): 1 Easter Chick 4 x Spring 'Chocolate' Shapes Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 175c. Place the Beef Tripe With Beef Flakes and the Parma Ham Flakes into a glass bowl and mix them both together. Add the egg yolks and combine with the flakes until the egg yolks are fully incorporated. Now, add the lard and use a spatula to cream the lard well into the other ingredients. Add the sour cherries and a pinch of salt (optional) into the bowl, and mix well until fully incorporated with the rest of the mixture. Add the honey (optional for a slightly sweet, as opposed to savoury bun) and give the mixture a good final mix together so that everything is well combined. Use a small ice cream scoop and fill it with the bun mixture. Use a spatula to level off the top. Place the scoop of mixture on to a lined baking tray. Proceed as per the above steps, until you have used up all your mixture. Place the baking tray with your Meat Flake Buns on, into the centre of the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes. Remove the baking tray from the oven and place on a heat resistant mat on your countertop for the buns to cool down slightly - 10 or so minutes. Serve warm, or cold. Both taste delicious. Any leftovers can be placed in an airtight glass container and stored in the fridge. Tips These buns also taste great without the honey too. They are more savoury tasting and make a great snack. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs. Whether you can eat eggs may depend on your condition, medical history, the time you have been doing PKD and your health goals. If you're unsure, please consult with ICMNI in Hungary ( Home - Nutriintervention ). Any fruit or honey should be of organic quality, used in small quantities, and are only recommended for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.
