Once the tallow has melted and the pan is nice and hot, add the veal heart and lamb kidney bits, together with the minced meat to the pan. Give the ingredients a good mix together. Stir regularly and cook until all the meat has been browned. Remove the pan from the heat, drain off the excess cooking juices and set aside. Add the veal liver, warm bone marrow and salt to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Add the contents of the blender to the pan and give everything a good mix together. Pour the pan contents into a greased 20cm springform circular cake tin, lined with greaseproof paper.

Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the pie to cool down a little before removing the springform tin from around the pie. (To serve cold, allow the pie to cool completely, before chilling it in the fridge for a few hours and enjoying nice and cold). To ensure the pie has a perfect PKD Ratio add a little extra fat on top of each serving*. Enjoy! Tips You can vary the offal used in the pie too! 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.

This pie makes a great, nutrient dense option as party food or while out at the beach, on a picnic or hike. It's also wonderful served cold, especially during the hot summer months. Simply bake the pie, allow it to cool down fully before placing it in an airtight container to chill for a few hours or overnight prior to serving. *For a perfect PKD ratio add ~15g extra fat of your choosing to each serving. If you enjoy this pie, you must give the oxtail version a try as it's also super delicious! Video

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Beef Tartare - Traditional Introduction & Inspiration Beef tartare is a delightful dish made with chopped high-quality raw beef, mixed with seasonings and served either at room temperature or slightly chilled. The flavour profile is exceptionally pleasing. Its freshness enhances the overall taste experience. Imagine tender meat contrasting with the crisp bite of beef crackling—a brilliant combination that I am sure you will enjoy! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: Add a glass bowl to the freezer a few hours ahead of making the recipe) Cooking Time N/A Serving Size 1 x Beef Tartare - Traditional (11cm Diameter) Main Ingredients: 135g Beef Fillet 40ml Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised 30g Beef Crackling Strips - Cold Salt To Taste Decoration (Optional) 1 Radish - Cut into Quarters Parsley Leaves - Fresh Recipe Instructions A few hours ahead of making the beef tartare, place a glass bowl in the freezer so it's nice and cold. Cut the beef fillet into thin strips, and then cut the strips into small cubes. Place the beef cubes into a bowl and reserve in the fridge. Remove the glass bowl from the freezer and add the beef cubes. Next add some salt. Use a spatula to give the ingredients a good mix up. Add the egg yolk sauce and mix well, to coat all the beef in the sauce. Now, add the beef crackling strips to the bowl and give the mixture a good mix. Perform a quick taste test to see if any additional seasoning is required. Place a pastry circle in the centre of a serving plate. Around the circle you can scatter a few fresh parsley leaves and radish quarters for decoration (optional). Add the beef tartare mixture to the pastry circle and press down to level the mixture out. Carefully remove the pastry circle from around the beef and place a parsley leaf on top for decoration. Your beef tartare is ready to serve! Tips Serve the Beef Tartare immediately while it's nice and cold. You can briefly refrigerate to get a slight chill, but only for about 15 minutes before you eat. You can also rest an extra egg yolk on top, but be aware this will make the tartare texture extra dense and silky. Slice the beef as quickly as possible (being careful obviously!) to ensure the meat remains nice and cold. 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. 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 ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances.

Place the strawberry hearts on top of the cake and grate a little 'chocolate' over the top (optional). Place the cake in the fridge until ready for serving. Tips *Depending on the size of your silicone heart mould, you may need to double the Basic Tripe Sponge Base recipe mixture ingredients. Also, if you're not a fan of tripe, the basic sponge base can be made by simply substituting the tripe ingredients with pulled pork leftovers or indeed veal heart etc. 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. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs to prepare your sponge base. 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 ). For a slightly sweeter sponge cake, keep the honey in the basic sponge base recipe as well as in the creamy dessert sauce. If you're wanting more of a savoury sponge cake version, simply make the creamy dessert sauce and the basic tripe sponge base without honey. You can also swap out the fruit for slices of smoked sausage. 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.

Tips 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. I used very fatty oxtail for this recipe and so I only needed to add a very small amount of fat using the Halloween 'chocolates'.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Crunchies Introduction & Inspiration I made these wonderful beef crunchies with my younger brother in mind, to satisfy his ravenous hunger. They don't disappoint, and taste great both warm and cold! Beef Suet Crackling with a sprinkle of Maldon salt is totally delicious in its own right, so when some freshly cooked steak slices are sandwiched in-between it becomes a perfect snack or meal. I hope you will enjoy them too. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 7 x Beef Crunchies Main Ingredients Beef Crackling (See Tips below) 160g Beef Steak 1 tbsp Tallow Salt to taste Recipe Instructions Prepare the beef crackling pieces per the instructions. Salt to taste and reserve while you're ready to assemble your beef crunchies. Thinly slice up the beef steak on a wooden chopping board. In a pan on medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of tallow. Add the steak slices and cook for approx. 2 minutes on either side (or until your desired level of doneness). On a wooden chopping board, take your beef crackling pieces and cut each one in half horizontally. Take the bottom half of the beef crackling, add some steak slices on top, and then add the top half of the beef crackling. Secure the beef crunchies with a cocktail stick through the middle. Enjoy these warm or cold! Tips You can also use lard to cook the beef slices in, if you don't have any tallow on-hand. When judging how much steak and meat to use to make each of your beef crunchies you can roughly determine when making the beef suet crackling how much beef fat the crackling represents and then weigh your steak before cooking and after cooking so that you can calculate how much beef crackling to use for each of your crunchies if you are looking for a good PKD fat to protein ratio 2:1 . This is approximate obviously and you can also just eyeball the amounts. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Video

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) The Stuffed Meatball Collection Introduction & Inspiration Stuffed meatballs are a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed all year-round. They’re simple to prepare and offer endless possibilities for flavour combinations. Nutrient dense stuffed meatballs with a great PKD ratio are easy to achieve and taste delicious. Here are just a few ways you can create nutrient dense meals with very basic ingredients. Enjoy these meaty balls of goodness! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 7 x Stuffed Meatballs (Various Versions) Meatball Filling Ingredients (select the version to see ingredients): Liver Parfait Version Brain Mayonnaise Version Eskimo Pork Crackling Version Bone Marrow Version Veal Heart Version Egg Yolk Version Lamb Kidney Version + Lard or tallow for coating Recipe Instructions Chop the lamb kidney and veal heart into very small cubes (this is important so that the meatballs hold together well during assembly). Push the raw bone marrow out of the bones and chop it up into small cubes too. Divide the minced meat out into varying sized balls (based on the Options above). Place the balls of minced meat on a wooden chopping board and mould them into bowl shapes with your fingers. Sprinkle the minced meat with a little salt. Make up the meatballs by adding the fillings mentioned above (Example: To make a meatball with filling Option no. 1, just add a little ball of liver parfait/pâté to the centre of the minced meat bowl and add the bone marrow cubes around the sides and on top). Once you've added the various filling to the meatballs, use your hands to mould the minced meat around the meatball fillings. It's ok to leave a gap in the minced meat at the top of the meatball so that you can see the filling ingredients slightly. (It also looks pretty for serving). Melt a little lard or tallow and coat the meatballs using a pastry brush. Place the meatballs in the fridge for 30 minutes. Pre heat the air fryer for a few minutes at 180c. Grease the basket of the air fryer and proceed to add the meatballs into it (you may need to cook them in batches, depending on quantity). Cook the meatballs for 10 minutes. Remove the meatballs carefully from the air fryer using a spatula and then place them on a serving plate. Enjoy these wonderful meaty balls of goodness! Tips The egg yolk can be already pasteurised (see my Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised recipe) or else can be cooked from raw. If the egg yolk is placed towards the top of the meatball filling ingredients then the raw egg will be fully cooked. If you prefer the egg yolk to be slightly runny, then place the pasteurised egg yolk sauce filling at the bottom of the meatball with other ingredients on top. The bone marrow can be either raw or it can also be already cooked too. Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and organs 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. Check out my Liver Parfait (which is an easy pâté to make), Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised and Brain Mayonnaise recipes for instructions on how to make all of these. The Eskimo Pork Crackling Crumbs are made from fatty bacon from free-range (Hungarian Big White) pork. The Crackling is a thawed, rolled-up piece of bacon cut into even cubes. An excellent raw source of energy and guaranteed free of milk and additives! You can order this, and other wonderful products, from Eskimo Kitchen in Hungary: Eskimokitchen.eu If you do not have any pork crackling crumbs handy, then you can substitute with beef crackling crumbs instead. Simply mix and match the meatballs with their stuffing ingredients based on your own preferences. For a good PKD ratio, just ensure you have sufficient meat and fat in each stuffed meatball. Try and chop the lamb kidney, veal heart and bone marrow into very small cubes (you could also blend them briefly in a mini blender at a pinch too, before adding to the minced meat) to ensure easy assembly of your stuffed meatballs. Even if they are looking a little fragile, once they have been refrigerated for 30 minutes, they hold up really well to the cooking. If you do not have an air fryer you can cook these meatballs in the oven too. Video ! Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page. If that doesn’t work, contact us.

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Creamy Bone Marrow Mayonnaise Introduction & Inspiration Creamy Bone Mayonnaise is, as the name suggests, so incredibly creamy and delicious! It is easy to spread and works so well as a mayonnaise for adding a good amount of healthy fat to meat dishes or other PKD meals. In fact, it's also the perfect substitute for butter given it's creamy consistency and the fact that it remains so easy to spread without being too soft. It's also super easy to prepare. I hope you'll give this a try! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 110ml Creamy Bone Marrow Mayonnaise Main Ingredients: 70g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow (liquid) 15-20ml Bone Broth or Water ( as required for thickness) 2 Egg Yolks Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Make the Oven Roasted Bone Marrow as per the recipe instructions. Scoop the bone marrow out of the bones and into a small pan. Place the pan on a low heat, and allow the bone marrow to further render its fat so that you have sufficient liquid bone marrow to make this recipe. Use a sieve and pour the bone marrow through it into a glass jar until you have the quantity required. ( To Note: The remaining bone marrow, can be refrigerated and used in other recipes). Allow the liquid bone marrow to cool down, so it's hot, but not boiling. Meanwhile, place the egg yolks and salt in a glass bowl. Use an electric hand whisk and whisk the egg yolks and salt together. Slowly pour small amounts of the liquid bone marrow into the glass bowl, while continuing to whisk the mixture continuously. Once the bone marrow has been fully mixed in, add another small amount of the bone marrow to the egg mixture and incorporate fully, as before. Continue in this way, until all the liquid bone marrow has been fully incorporated into the egg mixture in the bowl. You should find that the mixture is a lot thicker at this point. To thin the mayonnaise slightly so that it is slightly more runny (as it will get harder once refrigerated) add a small amount of bone broth (or water) and whisk this well into the mayonnaise with the hand whisk. Once you are happy with the consistency, use a spatula to put the creamy bone marrow mayonnaise into a lidded glass jar, before placing in the fridge. Use within 3-4 days (Trust me, this won't be a problem as it's delicious and can be used for numerous recipes). Tips Remember that the bone marrow mayonnaise will harden a little when you place the mixture in the fridge, so it's best to make the mayonnaise slightly on the runny side so that it is a good consistency for spreading. Ideally, purchase your meat and bones 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 ). Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this. To obtain a pale pink colour to your creamy bone marrow mayonnaise, simply oven roast the marrow bones for slightly less time (15 or so minutes), so that the colour of the marrow is still pink.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Oxtail - Slow Cooker Introduction & Inspiration If you have never tried oxtail before, you're in for a lovely treat! Slow cooker oxtail is just magical for creating the most succulent meat, with flavoursome juices. The meat literally just falls off the bone. I hope you will give this recipe a try. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 14 hours Makes: 985g Beef Oxtail (Cooked) 140ml Oxtail Fat 573ml Oxtail Juices 500g Oxtail Bones (useful for making gelatinous bone broth) Main Ingredients: 250ml - 500ml Bone Broth 2.2kg Beef Oxtails 2 tbsp Tallow or Lard (to sear the oxtails in before cooking) Recipe Instructions In the slow cooker, add the tallow and set the slow cooker to 'Sear' mode. Sear the oxtails on all sides until slightly browned. Add 1 - 2 cups of bone broth over the top of the beef oxtail. Place the lid on the slow cooker and set to 'Vent' on the lid. Choose the Slow Cooker LOW setting and set the Time to 14 hours (or 12 hours + 2, if there is a maximum time limit on your device). After 14 hours has elapsed, open the lid and check whether the meat is falling easily off the bone. It should be! Remove the oxtails from the slow cooker and place them in a glass dish, and allow them to cool slightly. At this point, remove the bones from the oxtail and then proceed to pull the oxtail meat apart with two forks while nice and tender (like when making pulled pork). Once the oxtail is well shredded, you can use it immediately in a recipe should you wish. Otherwise, leave the oxtail to cool down completely before placing a lid on the dish and storing it in the fridge. Pour the oxtail cooking juices from the slow cooker into a glass jar. Leave this to cool before placing a lid on it and storing this in the fridge too. You will see a fat layer form on top of the jar (Oxtail Fat), and you will have some lovely rich juices underneath (Oxtail Juices). Enjoy! Tips Save the oxtail bones as they are great for making even more gelatinous bone broth. Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this. You can use the warm oxtail to make some incredibly juicy and delicious recipes. Why not try Savoury Bagels/Donuts - Oxtail, Oxtail Soup, Oxtail Pizza, Oxtail Crunchy Rolls or even 'Bread' Circles - Oxtail. There are so many wonderful options for this nutrient dense food.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Christmas Mince Pies Introduction & Inspiration Christmas mince pies have always been a staple throughout the festive period in our house, and these ones are no less delicious! These little buns are packed with flavour and real mince as well. I hope they will become a family favourite for you too! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time 30 minutes to 1 hour Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 4 - 5 mince pies (or more depending on your muffin mould size) Ingredients for the Base (Makes 2 x sheets): 105g Pressure Cooked Beef Tripe - warm 75ml Hot Water 45g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow Filling Ingredients: 140g Minced Meat - cooked 50g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow 30g Honey - Local & Organic Topping Ingredients: 1 x Beef Tripe star shape per mince pie (made when following base instructions) Add a lard or tallow Christmas decoration weighing 5g - 10g if desired. Recipe Instructions Base Instructions: Preheat oven to 175c (Fan assisted - for lower and upper shelves) Place all ingredients into a blender and blend for 1 minute or so, until the mixture is smooth. Grease a silicone baking mat with tallow or lard. Pour 100-105ml of the mixture on to a silicone mat on a baking tray and spread out a thin layer of the mixture using a spatula. Repeat the process for the second sheet. Place the baking trays in the oven and cook for 12-14 minutes (check often towards the end of the cooking time). Remove the baking trays from the oven and allow the sheets to cool. Use an 6-8cm diameter round cutter to cut 6-8 circular disks and 2-3 star shapes per Tripe Sheet. Reserve. Place at least 3 circular disks gently one on top of the other into the centre of a muffin tin or paper bun case and press the base and the sides so that the disks take on the desired shape. Reserve the bases in the fridge. Filling Instructions: In a pan, add the minced meat and stir often until cooked. Pour off any excess juices. Allow the minced meat to cool. Scoop out the bone marrow from the bone and place in a separate bowl. Use a fork to break up the bone marrow a little, but not overly so. (We are looking for the bone marrow to retain some texture). Next add the bone marrow mix and honey to the cool minced meat. Use a spoon and lightly combine all the ingredients together and then leave the mixture to cool. Spoon the mixture evenly between the mince pie bases. Add a star shape to the top of each mince pie. Add any additional lard decorations to the top of the mince pies and then place the mince pies back in the fridge for the filling to harden a little before serving. Topping Instructions: Place a star shape on top of the filling mixture of each mince pie and add an additional lard or tallow shaped decoration on top of each mince pie if desired. To make the decoration, Add a little lard to a piece of greaseproof paper (to the size of the pastry cutter shape) and then pop the lard in the freezer for a few minutes to harden, before cutting the shape out with the cutter. Tips Enjoy these mince pies throughout the festive period! Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised sources that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Any honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small amounts for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Video Not Available Yet....

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Blackberry Coulis Introduction & Inspiration This is a wonderful coulis to make as the colour is extremely vibrant and the flavour of the blackcurrant is delicious! A small amount goes a long way in fact and so it's ideal for drizzling over homemade ice cream or paired with certain meats like oxtail for example. Give it a try. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 265ml Blackberry Coulis Main Ingredients: 270g Blackberries 85ml Bone Broth 20g Honey (optional) Recipe Instructions Wash the blackberries under running water. Combine the honey, bone broth and blackberries in a pan and cook on low-medium heat, with a lid, until the honey is all melted and the fruit is soft (10 - 15 minutes). Stir occasionally. Place the mixture into a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over an airtight glass container. Stir and push on the solids with the back of a spatula until all of the liquid has been extracted. This will take a few minutes as the mixture will be thick. Discard the seeds. Once the blackberry coulis has cooled, place the lid on the container and store in the fridge. Tips If your blackberries are nice and ripe then it may well not be necessary to add a lot of honey. Perform a taste test first. Any honey or fruit should be of organic quality, and are only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. To make Blackcurrant Juice, simply mix in some additional warm bone broth at the end, until you achieve the desired consistency.

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised Introduction & Inspiration Out of the various methods out there to pasteurise egg yolks, I have found the one by America's Test Kitchen on the www.splendidtable.org site to be one of the best in producing a nice thick egg yolk sauce. The longer the eggs are cooked (beyond 6 minutes required to achieve pasteurisation at 144 degrees Fahrenheit/62.2 degrees Celsius) the thicker the texture of the sauce. The egg yolks retain a very vibrant colour and are perfect for many PKD recipes. The possibilities are endless! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 32 minutes Serving Size 125ml Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised Main Ingredients: 150g Egg Yolks (from 9 eggs) Salt to Taste Ice Cubes Cold Water Recipe Instructions Prepare the water bath for the sous-vide cooker immersion circulator device by attaching the bracket to hold the sous-vide stick onto the side of a large pot. Place the sous-vide cooker stick into the bracket. Fill the pot to between the minimum and maximum water levels shown on the sous-vide stick. Set the sous-vide stick to heat up to 65c to start preheating the water to the required temperature. Meanwhile, place your egg yolks into a fine mesh sieve over the top of a pouring jug. Use a spatula to push your egg yolks through the sieve into the jug. Add a touch of salt to the jug (if using) and give the eggs a good mix to incorporate the salt. Pour this mixture into a sous-vide bag and use your sous vide machine to suck all the air out of the bag and seal it. (or if you do not have a sous-vide machine to suck the air out of the bag, simply use a large enough Zip-Lock bag) Once the water in the pot is at 65c, gently lower the sous-vide sealed bag into the pot before attaching it to the side of the pot using a few laundry pegs (or similar) in order to hold it in place. (If you are using the Ziplock bag lower it slowly into the water. As the bag goes lower into the water the air naturally starts to push out of the bag opening. Seal the bag fully before pegging it onto the side of the pot with pegs or similar). Set the sous-vide stick to cook for 32 minutes. Just before the timer is up, add several ice cubes to a bowl of cold water, to make an ice bath. Carefully remove the bag from the pot and immediately transfer the bag to the ice bath so that the cooking process stops. Allow the bag to let cool down until cold to touch - 15 minutes or so. Transfer the Egg Yolk Sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate it until you are ready to use it. Tips Try 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 ).

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Flat Bottom Pork Muffins Introduction & Inspiration It's always nice to have a 'bread' that's both tasty and nutrient dense. These pork muffins are nice and moist and are perfect for burgers, sandwiches or pizza bases. They have a lovely colour to them and re-heat well too. Try them out and see for yourself! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than one hour Serving Size 4 (thick) or 6 (thin) Flat Bottom Pork Muffins (10cm Diameter) Main Ingredients: 150g Pulled Pork Leftovers 90g Lard 45ml Egg Yolk 60ml Pulled Pork Cooking Juices (or Bone Broth) Salt To Taste Glaze (Optional): 1 tsp Lard/Tallow Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 160c. Place all the ingredients, except the egg yolk and the bone broth, into a pan on low heat. Cook for a few minutes until all the lard has melted and the pork is warm. Pour the contents of the pan into a high speed blender, add the egg yolk and bone broth to the blender and blend everything until the mixture is smooth. Grease 6 circular muffin holes in a silicone mould with lard or tallow and then add a circle of greaseproof paper to the bottom of each hole (this will make it easier to remove each muffin after cooking). Divide the contents of the blender equally between the 6 muffin holes with the help of a spatula. Use the spatula or spoon to smooth off the top of each muffin. Place the silicone tray on a baking tray and place in the pre-heated oven for 35 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven, use a pastry brush to brush the top of each muffin with a little lard or tallow (optional). Allow the muffins to rest on the countertop to cool a little, before removing the muffins onto a serving tray. If you are not going to be eating the muffins straightaway, store them in an airtight container in the fridge once they're fully cool. Tips If you happen to have any pulled pork cooking juices or sauce handy, then use this as opposed to the bone broth to provide even more flavour to the muffins. The colour of the muffins will be slightly darker in colour. Ideally, purchase your fat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Egg and Brain Ice Cream Introduction & Inspiration This ice cream reminds me immensely of vanilla ice cream in terms of its creaminess and colour. It has a perfect silkiness to it and mixes like a dream. I hope you'll enjoy it too! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: The ice cream needs to be placed in the freezer for at least 24 hours once made) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 470ml pot Egg and Brain Ice Cream Main Ingredients: 230ml Water (or Bone Broth) 45g Pig Brains - Poached 50g Honey 150ml Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised 8g Pork Jelly Cubes Salt Recipe Instructions Melt the pork jelly cubes in a pan on low heat, together with the bone broth or water and touch of salt. Once the pork jelly cubes have melted, add the brains and honey. Cook on low heat for a minute or so until the honey has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Place all the ingredients into a blender and briefly blend until smooth (to avoid too many bubbles forming). Pour the egg yolk sauce into the pan and slowly pour in a little of the mixture from the blender into the egg yolk. Pour a little at a time and mix in well using a spatula, before proceeding to add some more of the blender mixture. Once all the ingredients have been incorporated in the pan, allow the mixture to cool down for 5 or so minutes before pouring the ice cream mixture into a Ninja Creami pot. Allow the ice cream mixture to cool down completely. Place the lid on your pot, and place it upright (& level) in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours before proceeding to make your Egg and Brain Ice Cream. Remove the Egg and Brain Ice Cream pot from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami and proceed to mix the ice cream (this may take 2 or 3 spins using the Gelato option). Enjoy! Tips Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. 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. Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker, Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised, Pork Jelly Cubes and Brains - Poached recipes for instructions on how to make these. If you do not have any pasteurised egg yolk sauce, you can also just use egg yolks. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Crackling Introduction & Inspiration Beef Crackling is such an amazing by-product of making tallow. These delicious and nutritious nuggets of goodness are so satiating and can be enjoyed as-is, or used in a variety of different ways in recipes. You will love making your own beef tallow, just to appreciate these yummy treats! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 215g Beef Crackling (made from rendering 900g Beef Suet) Main Ingredients: 900g Beef Suet Fat Salt To taste Recipe Instructions Instructions using an Air Fryer Chop the beef suet fat into 4-5 cm cubes approximately. Place the cubes in the basket of an air fryer. Air fryer the cubes, stirring periodically until the cubes reduce in size and most of the fat is rendered. Below are some rough guidelines to use when melting your beef suet ( based on the Ninja Tendercrisp machine on the Air Crisp setting): Temperature Setting 185c - cook for 10 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 190c - cook for 8 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 190c - cook for 5 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 185c - cook for 2 minutes Once the Beef Crackling is done to your liking, carefully remove the crackling with some kitchen tongs, and place them into a glass bowl. If you like these with a touch of salt (depending on what recipes you will be using them in), now is the perfect time to add some while they're warm. Once the Beef Crackling has cooled down, it can be stored in the fridge for several days (although I have found that it doesn't last that long!). Tips If you do not have an air fryer, don't despair. You can simply melt the Beef Suet cubes in a large pot on the stove. It will take a little longer, but the results are well worth the effort! While it can be tempting to add salt to the beef crackling cubes while it is cooking, I tend to only salt my beef crackling once I have removed it from the air fryer, since I want the tallow I am making to be as pure as possible and without any added salt. Beef Crackling can be used as your fat accompaniment for many recipes, as a change from other animal fats. Check out my Beef Crunchies recipe for ideas on how to use this wonderful Beef Crackling. Ideally, purchase your beef suet from pasture raised animals. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Video
