    Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Rosemary Infused Tallow Introduction & Inspiration This rosemary infused tallow is lovely and fragrant with a little sweetness and crunch provided by the pork crackling crumbs and honey. The tallow is delicious as a condiment for use in sweet and savoury dishes alike. It also spreads really well straight from the fridge. Let me know what you think. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 40 minutes Serving Size 1 x 110ml Pot of Rosemary Infused Tallow Main Ingredients: 105g Tallow 13g Fresh Rosemary 15g Eskimo Pork Crackling Crumbs (or homemade) 5g Honey (Optional) Recipe Instructions Set-up the sous-vide machine and set to a temperature of 75c. While the water is heating, put the tallow into a pan and melt it gently on low heat. Once melted, pour the tallow into an airtight metal container. Remove the rosemary leaves from the stems and then add the leaves of rosemary to the metal container and use a spatula to push the rosemary well into the tallow. Place the lid on the pot. Once the sous vide machine is up to temperature, place your metal pot container into the sous vide pot and weight it down so that it doesn't move around (I used a metal doorstop). Set the sous vide timer to 40 minutes. Once the time is up carefully lift the metal container out of the sous vide pot using a slotted spoon, and immediately place it into a bowl of iced cold water. Leave the pot and its contents to cool down a good 15 minutes in the iced water. Remove the lid from the metal container, give the contents a quick mix round with a spatula and then pour the contents through a sieve or cheesecloth bag, into an airtight glass container or jug. The oil should now be free of any bits of rosemary that are retained in the sieve or cheesecloth bag. Place the container in the fridge for 1 hour or so for the tallow to start to harden (but not fully set). Should you wish, you can now add in a little honey and pork crackling crumbs (optional). Give these a good mix around. Place the pot back in the fridge while the tallow hardens. Enjoy your wonderful, rosemary infused tallow! Tips If you only wish to infuse a very tiny hint of rosemary into your tallow, simply use slightly less fresh rosemary. Check out my Beef Crackling recipe for instructions on how to make tallow as well as my Lard and Pork Crackling- Air Fryer recipe to make your own pork crackling to turn into crumbs. 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 Ideally, purchase your fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Any honey or herbs should be of organic quality, and are only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

    Regime Type: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs Steak Crackling Burger Patties Introduction & Inspiration These succulent steak crackling burger patties are versatile—you can cook them in the oven or on the BBQ. With their delightful texture, they create a juicy burger experience that pairs perfectly with a wholesome, nutrient-dense burger 'bun'. In the accompanying video, I’ll guide you through making these flavourful patties and assembling a mouthwatering steak burger. I hope you'll enjoy them. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Tasty Steak Crackling Burger Patties Main Ingredients: 250g Chateaubriand Steak (or similar) 55g Beef Crackling* Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Chop the steak and beef crackling into smaller pieces with a knife or kitchen scissors. Add the pieces to a mini blender along with some salt. Blend briefly until all the ingredients are well combined, but avoid over blending. Add the mixture to a glass bowl. Place a pastry circle (or burger patty circle) on top of a piece of greaseproof paper. Add half of the patty mixture into the burger patty 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 a shallow dish (to retain the cooking juices) in a 160c oven for 25 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Drizzle your steak crackling burger patties with any cooking juices to retain a good PKD ratio. Enjoy! Tips Be sure to use a nice, tender piece of steak. 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. Check out my Beef Crackling recipe for instructions on how to make this. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Tasty Steak Crackling Burger Patties into various dishes, including the delicious Hearty Steak Burger. If you don't have any beef crackling available, then simply use pork back fat, lard, tallow, bone marrow or other animal fat to ensure a good PKD ratio of meat to fat. *The burger patties cook up really well in the oven. A small amount of fat will be rendered during the cooking process (approx. 10g per burger patty), so be sure to pour the juices over your burger at the end to retain a good PKD ratio. If you have an issue with consuming liquid fat, then simply reserve this for another recipe and add some extra fat to the tops of your burger patties to retain a good PKD ratio. Video

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Oxtail Crunch Rolls Introduction & Inspiration I am always looking for new ways to present simple ingredients that go well together. These oxtail crunch rolls have all the crispiness of the cooked Parma ham combined with the smoothness of the oxtail and whipped oxtail fat filling. All, nicely drizzled with an oxtail sauce reduction that provides a nice intense flavour to the dish. These crunch rolls could also be served as finger food at parties with the sauce served on the side as a dipping sauce. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Serving Main Ingredients: 4 x Crispy Parma Ham Rolls (60g Weight) 80g Oxtail Leftovers 85g Whipped Oxtail Fat 75ml Oxtail Cooking Juices (to make a Sauce Reduction of approx 40ml) Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions In a pan on low heat, re heat the oxtail leftovers and stir from time to time. While the oxtail is reheating, pour the oxtail cooking juices into a pan and bring it to a boil over a low-medium heat. Cook, until the juices have reduced the liquid to the desired consistency for the sauce reduction. Once the oxtail leftovers are warm, place them in a mini blender to make the meat slightly finer in texture (as we will be using a piping bag ultimately to pipe the ingredients through a large piping nozzle). Once the oxtail leftovers have been blended, add these to a glass bowl along with the whipped oxtail fat. Use a spatula to combine both ingredients well together. Now use a spatula to scoop the ingredients into a piping bag with a large piping nozzle. Assembly of Oxtail Crunch Rolls: Place the Crispy Parma Ham rolls on a plate. Place each roll on its end. Now use your piping bag to pipe the ingredients into each of the rolls until they are full to the top with the mixture. You can now lay each of the filled rolls side by side, in a serving dish. Drizzle the Oxtail Crunch Rolls with the sauce reduction and enjoy! Tips These rolls can also be used as finger food at parties. Simply serve the sauce as a dipping sauce on the side. 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. Check out my Oxtail Slow Cooker, Whipped Oxtail Fat and Crispy Parma Ham recipes for instructions on how to make these. Sauce Reduction - In cooking, reduction is the process of thickening and intensifying flavour of a liquid mixture , in this case oxtail cooking juices, by simmering or boiling. Reduction is performed by simmering or boiling the cooking juices until the desired concentration is reached by evaporation. This is done without a lid, enabling the vapour to escape from the mixture. Video

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Joint - Oven Roasted Introduction & Inspiration Roasting a joint of beef in the oven is a delightful culinary adventure. Within moments, you’ll be greeted with succulent, moist beef infused with flavorful cooking juices. This dish transforms into a sumptuous Sunday Roast, perfect for those who still cherish this tradition. Whether you prefer your roast beef medium rare or well done, both options promise juicy, satisfying bites. And don’t forget the delightful twist of smoked bacon—it’s a true treat! Bon appétit! Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than one hour Serving Size 1 x 663g Beef Joint - Oven 68ml Cooking Juices 64g Eskimo Mangalica Smoked Kolozsvari Bacon Fat 127g Eskimo Mangalica Smoked Kolozsvari Bacon Main Ingredients: 762g Joint of Beef (with pork fat round it and butcher's twine removed) 200g Eskimo Mangalica Smoked Kolozsvari Bacon 15ml Lard or Bone Marrow - melted Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pre-heat the oven to 180c - Convection. Remove the joint of beef from the fridge and place it in a roasting tin (ideally 30 minutes before cooking). Cover the beef with the melted lard or bone marrow and sprinkle a little salt all over the beef. Insert a digital probe into the beef, positioning the tip right in the centre. This will allow you to monitor the internal temperature of the beef without opening the oven. Cut the smoked bacon into slices on a wooden chopping board (you may need to cut the slices in half). Lay the slices over the top of the joint of beef so that the meat is completed covered. Add the roasting tin to the oven. Cook until the internal temperature is how you like it. I set the digital probe to 57c (for medium) or 60c (for medium - well done) since as the meat rests the heat will rise and continue to cook for a few minutes so you have to stop the cooking process prior to your desired doneness. Once cooked, transfer the beef onto a wooden chopping board and allow the meat to rest for 15-20 minutes. Pour all the juices from the roasting tin into a jar (if not serving straightaway) or else pour the juices into a pan and bring it to a boil over a low-medium heat. Cook, until the juices have reduced to the desired consistency for the sauce reduction. Test the sauce and add any additional seasoning as required. To serve, slice the meat. Place the beef onto serving plates (or a serving platter) and drizzle over some of the reduced down cooking juices. To ensure a good PKD meat : fat ratio, add some whipped tallow or other PKD fat of your choice. Enjoy! Tips For a delicious sauce, once you have reduced down the cooking juices add some warm oven roasted bone marrow to the pan to have a good PKD ratio. Once nice and hot, use a stick blender to froth up the mixture and turn it into a nice frothy, delicious sauce. Ideally use a snug fit roasting tin (i.e. that is only slightly bigger than the joint of beef so that everything stays juicy). Try and purchase all 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. Remove the roast from the heat when it's 5c less than your desired temperature. If you do not have any lard or bone marrow handy, then you can also use tallow. Kolozsvari is a type of traditional smoked bacon from the Cluj-napoca region of Romania. It can be eaten raw as for this recipe, or it can be cooked in the pan and crisps up nicely. You can order this, and many other wonderful products, from Eskimo Kitchen in Hungary Eskimokitchen.eu Their products are all free from harmful additives and preservatives and they have a wonderful selection of produce. Why not use any leftover roast beef to make some delicious Roast Beef & Smoked Bacon Sandwiches. Video

    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.

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.

    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. Divide the mixture evenly between the individual silicone bun cases and use the back of a spoon to level off the tops of the buns. Place the bun cases on a baking tray and cook for 20 minutes. 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.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Tartare - PKD Style Introduction & Inspiration Beef tartare, a delightful dish, features finely chopped high-quality raw beef blended with seasonings. Served either at room temperature or slightly chilled, this variation departs from the traditional recipe by omitting egg yolk. For those that cannot consume eggs right now, I’ve crafted a version using egg-free mayonnaise, which imparts a creamy finish to the wonderfully tender meat. The result? A taste that’s simply wonderful—perfect for savouring during the hot summer months! 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 - PKD Style (11cm Diameter) Main Ingredients: 135g Beef Fillet 40g Creamy Sauce Dip 30g Bone Marrow 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 bowl from the freezer and add the beef. Next add some salt. Use a spatula to give the ingredients a good mix up. Drain the soaked bone marrow, pat dry, then push the marrow out of the centre of the bone. Slice this into small cubes. Add the cubes to the bowl and stir in with the beef. Now, add the creamy sauce dip to the bowl and give the mixture a good stir. 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 - PKD Style 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. Slice the beef as quickly as possible (being careful obviously!) to ensure the meat remains nice and cold.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Brains - Poached Introduction & Inspiration Brains are a very nutrient dense ingredient, however they may be off-putting initially and so a key way to introduce them into your diet is by disguising them. Using them in various recipes including dressings, creamy dessert sauces, mayonnaises and even ice cream, can be a great way to overcome the initial reticence associated with using them. Poaching the brains in water allows them to retain their creamy texture and will make cooking or frying them a little easier as they will become a little firmer as well. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Up to 30 Minutes* Serving Size 166g Lamb Brains - Poached Main Ingredients: 170g Lamb Brains Salt Recipe Instructions Gently rinse the brains under running water to remove any bone fragments and remove as much of the outer membrane as you can. Soak the brains for 30 minutes in water and some salt to get the blood out. Now drain off the water and fill with clean water and salt and allow to soak a further 30 minutes. The water should run clear. This helps the brains keep a light colour. Drain off the water and place the brains in a pan of fresh water and bring the water to a boil, before turning down to a simmer (not boiling). Cook for 15 minutes until the brains have firmed up. Allow the brains to cool in the liquid. Check for membranes which will look like a cloudy veil, and if there are any, try and peel them off. If you are going to use the brains straightaway then you can pat them dry with a paper towel. Otherwise, reserve the cooking liquid as you may use this to store brains if needed (up to two days). Your poached brains are now ready! Tips Brains are extremely perishable, so purchase them as fresh as possible and aim to use them within 24 hours. Ideally, purchase your meat 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. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Brains - Poached into various dishes. After cooking, the brains end up tasting reminiscent of a firm ricotta, or another mild cheese. They blend nicely into the background and make a nutrient dense breakfast for the PKD and offal enthusiast. Brains are a very nutrient dense ingredient, however they may be off-putting initially and so a key way to introduce them into your diet is by disguising them. Using them in a creamy dessert sauce can be a great way to overcome the initial reticence associated with using them. Poaching the brains in water allows them to retain their creamy texture and will make cooking or frying them a little easier as they will become a little firmer. *You can poach various type of brains using the exact same method. The only thing to change slightly is the cooking time. Poach pig or calf brains for 20 minutes and beef brains for 30 minutes. Video Not Available Yet....
