Add the bone broth mixture into the high speed blender with the pork brains mixture. Blend the mixture until nice and smooth. Pour the mixture back into the pan to cool for 10 - 15 minutes. Perform a taste test. Add a touch more salt as required. Pour the ice cream into a Ninja Creami pot. Allow the ice cream mixture to cool down completely.

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Oxtail Mayonnaise Introduction & Inspiration Oxtail tastes so nice, and so I wanted to make use of the wonderful fat created during the Oxtail cooking process, to make a mayonnaise. The taste is smooth and rich and pairs wonderfully in so many dishes. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 185ml Pot Oxtail Mayonnaise Main Ingredients: 140ml Oxtail Fat (this is the fat layer that forms on top of the cooking juices once poured into a jar as part of the process of making Oxtail - Slow Cooker) 3 x Raw Egg Yolks (Free Range & Organic) Salt To Taste 6g Honey - Local & Organic 15ml Oxtail Cooking Juices Recipe Instructions After you have finished cooking the oxtail (see my Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipe), pour off the juices into a glass jar and allow the fat layer to form on the top. Remove the oxtail fat from the main juices (you can gently melt the fat layer if you need to in a pan). Reserve the warm oxtail fat. Crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Place the egg yolks in a tall glass jar with a reasonable sized opening (if you plan on using an immersion blender), or a large bowl (if you are just going to whisk the mixture by hand). Add a touch of salt to the egg yolks and then use an immersion blender or whisk to give the egg yolks a good mix. Add the oxtail fat drop by drop at the beginning, and whisk in all the fat before proceeding to add in any additional fat. Gradually pour tiny amounts of the oxtail fat into the glass jar or bowl and continue blending until the mixture starts to thicken. As the mixture begins to thicken and more of the oxtail fat has been added, you can start to add the fat more quickly until the mayonnaise is still a little liquidy (since the fat will harden further in the fridge). At this point you can add in the honey or any other extras should you wish (like Parma Ham or Dill) and combine well. Pour the oxtail mayonnaise into a lidded glass jar and place in the fridge and 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 Check out my Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this. 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 ). This can also be made in a food processor if you do not have an immersion blender, or simply using a whisk. If your mayonnaise does happen to turn on you, it is possible to rescue it by starting again in a clean bowl, and beating the curdled sauce, spoonful by spoonful, into the new mixture. I have also found that if you simply transfer the mixture into another glass bowl and use a regular whisk, that it can be salvaged as well. Remember that the fat will harden 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. You can use soft boiled eggs to make this mayonnaise too, as opposed to raw eggs. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. 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....

If you wish to have a slightly sweeter taste to the liver sauce, add 1 tsp of honey once you have finished making it, and give this a good mix in. 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. If you wish to have a slightly more runny sauce, simply add a little extra bone broth. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.

The 'cheesecake' base has a nice kind of crunch to it like a traditional biscuit base.

It’s a very satisfying savoury type dessert. I hope you'll enjoy it!

The pâté is so creamy and delicious thanks to its unique ingredients and preparation process. When blended, these ingredients create a velvety consistency that's hard to beat. This smoothness combined with the rich, umami flavours makes it a truly delectable option. Enjoying it on a crisp piece of PKD toast just takes it to the next level.

Now you need to taste the mixture and determine if any seasoning needs to be added. Add some salt and herbs (optional) and blend briefly. Pour the blender contents through a fine mesh sieve into a terrine dish. Use the back of a spatula to push down on the mixture in the sieve. Once all the mixture has been pushed through the sieve into the terrine dish, place the dish in a deep sided dish/tray that has hot water filled up to half way up the side of the terrine dish (What's known as a Bain Marie in French, or Hot Water Bath). Place a piece of greaseproof paper large enough to cover the top of the terrine dish on top, followed by the lid. Place the baking tray in the oven for 25-45 minutes. Cook to your liking (if the centre wobbles slightly, but they are set, this is probably medium rare and still quite pink. If you prefer more well done then cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes) Remove the baking tray from the oven and let the brain and liver pâté cool down in the terrine. Once cooled, transfer the pâté to the fridge. Tips The brain and liver pâté will keep for about 1 week in the fridge. Depending on how much you are planning to make, you can also portion it out and freeze it as well. It should keep for a couple of months.

I hope you'll give this method of cooking beef short ribs a try. It doesn't disappoint! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 14 Hours - Slow Cooker (on LOW) Serving Size Beef Short Ribs Main Ingredients: Beef Short Ribs* 700ml Bone Broth** Tallow or Lard for searing Salt to Taste For Valentine's Day Serve with a Tallow/Lard or Bone Marrow Heart Shape Recipe Instructions In the slow cooker, add the tallow and set the slow cooker to Sear mode. Sear the beef short ribs on all sides until slightly browned. Use a pair of kitchen tongs to help turn the beef short ribs over. Pour the bone broth over the top of the beef short ribs. Place the lid on the slow cooker and set to Vent on the lid. Set the Time to 14 hours on LOW (or 12 hours + 2, if there is a maximum time limit on your device).

Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. **Ensure you add a good amount of broth. Add more if you are cooking a lot of beef ribs. The broth created is just delicious. If you have a chance before serving this tasty dish, take a ladle and pour some of the beef short rib cooking juices into a pan on medium-high heat with a pinch of salt. As the temperature increases, the cooking juices will start to reduce down over several minutes. Stir from time to time, to see how thick your sauce is becoming. Perform a quick taste test to see if the sauce has the intensity you're looking for. (The more the water has been boiled off and the liquid reduced down, the great the flavour profile of the sauce will be). Once you are happy with the sauce consistency, carefully pour the sauce from the pan into a serving jug ready for use. As a final touch, add a heart shape of animal fat (tallow/lard or bone marrow for example) on top of the meat to serve for special occasions like Valentine's Day. Add the amount that will ensure a good PKD ratio, depending on how fatty your beef short ribs are. Video Not Available Yet....

If you would like your chocolates to have a hint of colour to them, you can now add a little coulis to your base 'chocolate' ingredients. Give this a good stir in. Pour the mixture into your favourite Christmas moulds and then place them level, in the freezer, to set. Once the chocolates have set, transfer them from the mould into a glass container with a lid, and keep them in the freezer until you're ready to use the 'chocolates'. Tips *Check the taste and if necessary add a further 5g of honey and check again. Simply add 5g increments of honey each time until you are happy with the sweetness. The more coulis you add to the base ingredients, the more likely that this may not set fully, even in the freezer. Ideally, purchase your bones and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Any honey and fruit, if using, 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: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) BBQ Pulled Pork Introduction & Inspiration My husband recently got himself an all singing, all dancing, Pit Boss Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker. To christen the occasion what could be better than juicy BBQ Pulled pork. A perfect food for when guests and family visit, pulled pork is one of the most popular low and slow smoked foods. Cooking this beauty on the BBQ Smoker did not disappoint! The texture of the pork was incredibly succulent with its subtly smoky aromas, permeated through a well-seasoned crust. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 7 - 8 hours Serving Size 4 - 6 people Main Ingredients 1.4 kg Pork Shoulder (Boneless) Salt To Taste 2-3 Tbsp Honey (Optional) Recipe Instructions Set the BBQ Smoker temperature to 120c. Remove the butcher's twine from around the pork shoulder. Sprinkle salt (optional) on all sides of the pork roast and place the meat directly onto the indirect heat of your BBQ Smoker grill, fat or fattiest side down. On the other side of the Smoker, place a tray filled with water. This water will help keep a nice humid cooking environment inside the smoker, which helps with getting a succulent and juicy pork shoulder. Cook for 3 hours 30 minutes at this temperature. Place a couple of sheets of aluminium foil into a deep oven tray with excess sticking out of the tray. Remove the pork from the BBQ Smoker. At this point you can drizzle honey over the top and sides of your pork roast (if using). Insert a digital probe into the pork, positioning the tip right in the centre (This will allow you to monitor the internal temperature of the pork without opening the smoker) and then carefully wrap the pork in aluminium foil in the deep sided metal tray. Place the tray on the BBQ grill for a further 4 - 4.5 hours of cooking (or until tender - start checking around 105C internal temperature) - if the pork is still hard leave it for longer. The worst thing you can do is take the pork off too soon - yes too soon. Remove the pork from the BBQ Smoker and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Unwrap the foil from around the pork, lift the pork onto a large wooden board and separate the meat using two forks or kitchen tongs. You can also use a knife and give the pork a rough chop (based on preference). Taste the pork to check on the seasoning and garnish with the warm cooking juices (simply reduce the juices down in a pan for a thicker sauce should you wish). This pulled pork tastes great as it is, and is also perfect served on PKD crispy bread or toasted flat bottom muffins. Enjoy your succulent and moist, juicy pulled pork! Bon Appetit! 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. 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. 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 ). Nothing could be more delicious than juicy BBQ pulled pork served on home-made PKD toasted 'bread' or flat bottom muffins with some delicious sauce made from the cooking juices. When the pork hits an internal temperature of about 77°C, collagens, which are part of the connective tissues, begin to melt and turn to gelatine. The meat gets much more tender and juicier when this happens. When the internal temperature reaches 100- 105C (approximately 7-8 hours of total cooking time for this size of pork shoulder) it's a good idea to check if the pork is ready. The exterior should have a nice colour to it. Use the method known as "stick a fork in it" to check if your pork shoulder is ready. Basically, insert a fork in the pork and try to rotate it 90 degrees. If it turns with very little pressure, you know it’s ready. The worst thing you can do is take the pork off too soon - yes too soon. Be sure to keep any flavourful juices and pour them over the meat, as you can make your own sauce with the cooking juices to accompany this succulent meat.

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Liver Carbonara Introduction & Inspiration Liver Carbonara is a delicious 'pasta' style dish which is extremely creamy, savoury and satisfying. This is a great PKD alternative to the more classic version. The liver 'pasta' is a perfect match for the creamy sauce. The dish is simple enough to prepare, so please do give it a go and let me know how it turned out for you. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less Than 30 Minutes Serving Size 1 x Liver Carbonara Main Ingredients: 1/2 x Sheet Liver 'Pasta' (approx. 80g) 50g Pork Belly (fatty)* 60g Pig Brains - Poached 70ml Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised 70ml Bone Broth - Hot (plus 15ml extra as required, to thin the sauce) Salt To Taste Garnish: Fresh or Dried Parsley (Optional) 1 Tbsp Cured Egg Yolk - Grated (Optional) 10g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Make the liver sheet as per the recipe instructions. Allow to cool. Add a 'fettucine' attachment to the KitchenAid device, switch the machine on and feed the sheet into the machine. Place a bowl underneath the attachment for the liver 'pasta' to fall into. Reserve. Chop the pork belly into small cubes on a wooden chopping board. Add the cubes to a frying pan on medium heat. Cook for a couple of minutes until the cubes starts to release some of their fat. While the pork belly is cooking, add the egg yolk sauce and pork brains to a medium sized glass bowl. Add a touch of salt and then use an electric hand whisk to whisk the ingredients together to create a nice thick sauce. Add a little bone broth (or hot water) to thin the sauce down slightly, as required. Once the pork belly has released some of its cooking fat, turn the frying pan heat to low-medium and add the sauce to the pan. Use a spatula to give the sauce a good mix into the cooking juices from the pork belly. If the sauce is a touch too thick, add a little extra bone broth and stir in well. Warm the serving dish in the pre heated oven. Wait for the oven to reach temperature and then turn it off, before adding your dish. Add the liver 'pasta' to the frying pan and use a spatula to coat all the pasta in the creamy sauce. Leave the 'pasta' for a minute or so in the warm sauce, so that everything becomes nice and hot. Remove the serving dish from the oven. Transfer the liver carbonara to the warm serving dish. Season your carbonara with a little parsley (optional) and top with some grated cured egg yolk and crispy Parma ham flakes. Enjoy nice and hot! Tips *If you do not have any pork belly available use a flavourful meat, such as Eskimo Kitchen's Smoked Marble or Dwarf sausage, or even their Donkey or Buffalo salamis. They're all delicious and will add wonderful flavours to your carbonara! If you use smoked sausage or if your pork belly is not very fatty, then use some extra fat for a good PKD ratio. Your liver sheet should be at least 1 day old, as otherwise it's difficult to cut using the machine. If you do not have a machine to cut the liver sheet into fettucine type strips, simply place the liver sheet on a large wooden chopping board and cut long strips with a width of approximately 6mm. They're probably just as good. I just like using my gadgets. 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. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs for the egg yolk sauce. 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 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: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Christmas Tree Introduction & Inspiration One of my favourite pastry cutter shapes is the Christmas Tree, which provided the inspiration for this recipe! With only a handful of ingredients, this is super straightforward to make, and yet tastes very palatable thanks to the combination of flavours. I hope you'll enjoy it! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Very Cute Christmas Tree Ingredients for the base : 100g Oxtail - (Cooked & warm) 40g Roasted Bone Marrow (scooped out of the bone) Salt To taste Ingredients for the topping: 5g Sausage (optional - Christmas Lights Decoration) 40g Liver Parfait (to provide the coating for the tree) 10g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow - warm & melted (Christmas Star) 2g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes (Optional - Tree Base Decoration) 4g Honey (Optional) Recipe Instructions Instructions for the base: Mix the warm, cooked oxtail with the bone marrow in a pan on low heat, until the bone marrow has melted. On a lined baking tray pour the warm oxtail mixture into a large Christmas pastry cutter shape and press down the mixture so that it fills the tree shape evenly. Once the oxtail has cooled down a little, place the baking tray into the fridge so that the oxtail sets well into the desired shape. Instructions for the topping: Meanwhile, on a chopping board, chop the sausage into small cubes to represent lights on the Christmas Tree. Once the oxtail base has set fully in the fridge, you can then proceed to spread the Liver Parfait evenly over the oxtail Christmas tree base, so that it's fully coated. At this stage you can place the little cubes of sausage over the tree to represent the lights (leaving room at the top to place the Christmas Star). Place the baking tray back in the fridge for the Liver Parfait layer to set well on top of the oxtail layer. Instructions for the Christmas Star : In a bowl mix together the melted bone marrow with the honey until well combined. Pour this mixture into a small circular dish that has a star shape pastry cutter placed in the centre of it (ensure the dish is only slightly wider than the cutter so that the shape will have sufficient volume when set). Place the dish in the fridge to set properly. Once set, remove the Star gently from the pastry cutter shape and place it on top of the Christmas Tree. Tips Check out my Liver Parfait, Oxtail - Slow Cooker, Oven Roasted Bone Marrow and Crispy Parma Ham Flakes recipes for instructions on how to make these.
