Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Pulled Pork Flour Introduction & Inspiration Pulled Pork 'Flour' is another option, instead of using pork rinds or Panko for breading, bun making and so on. I was inspired to try it after watching a great video called 'Making Meat Flour' on the Allergies Bite but Taste Good YouTube Channel (see the link below). As I had some leftover pulled pork, I thought I'd give this a try, and I have to say I was very pleased with the result! The flour is slightly more dense, yet has a good consistency to it. Use it for coating your favorite food as well as for baking. Let your imagination run wild! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 1 hour Serving Size 157g Pot of Pulled Pork 'Flour' Main Ingredients: 300g Pulled Pork Leftovers Recipe Instructions Cook the pulled pork as per the recipe instructions. Once cool, place the pulled pork in an airtight glass container and refrigerate overnight. The Next Day Pre heat your oven to 150c. Add the pulled pork leftovers to a food processor. Whizz the pork up until you obtain a fine, crushed up meat. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and then pour the pork bits on and spread them out evenly. Cook for 20 minutes, then bring out and use a spatula to turn over the pork bits and check on how dry they're getting. It should feel damp when you touch it with your hands still. Place the tray back in the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes and then remove from the oven and check again. It will likely still be a little moist, so just use the spatula or your hands and give the meat a mix on the baking tray. Place the tray back in the oven for a further 10 minutes (only if needed). If you touch the meat bits now and they feel dry, you know the meat is cooked enough. If there is still a little moisture sensation, then add back to the oven for 5 minutes at a time and then check. Once the pork crumbs are cool, add them to a blender and blend until they turn into a fine powder, with a 'flour' like consistency. Place the pulled pork 'flour' in an airtight container and store it in the fridge until you are ready to use it. Tips Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate pulled pork 'flour ' into various dishes. Ideally, note down the raw weight of the pork before making pulled pork, and the end weight of the pork 'flour' during the cooking process so that you know how much meat the 'flour' represents for PKD purposes in order to have a good meat to fat ratio. By way of example, in this recipe 1g of pulled pork 'flour' is equivalent to 3g of pork.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Creamy Liver Soup Introduction & Inspiration Creamy Liver Soup is the most silky and mousse-like soup I have had so far. It's also one of the quickest ever soups to whip together and will provide you with all the nutrients you need, to keep you fighting fit during the cold winter months, and pretty much any time of the year! I hope you'll try this new way of eating liver, so that you too benefit from everything this wonderful nutrient dense ingredient has to offer. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less Than 30 Minutes Serving Size 1 x Bowl of Creamy Liver Soup Main Ingredients: 150g Veal Liver 50g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow 130ml Bone Broth Lard or Tallow for Frying Salt To Taste Garnish Crispy Parma Ham Powder Sprig of Parsley (Optional) Serving Suggestion - Optional 2 x Slices of Tripe Bread (or other PKD 'Bread' without egg) Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Warm a serving bowl in an oven that has been pre heated to 80c. Wait for the oven to reach temperature and then turn it off, before adding your serving bowl. Give your liver a quick rinse under running water and then remove any silvery membrane from around the liver. Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender and blend together until nice and smooth (if the ingredients are all cold, then the mixture may look a little speckled with white but this is fine and will resolve once the fat has melted). Pour the mixture into the pan and cook on low-medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring continuously. While the soup is cooking, heat up a pan with a little lard or tallow. Once the fat has melted, add the bread. Fry the bread in the hot fat, turning it over from time to time with the spatula, while continuing to stir the liver soup. After 3 minutes, increase the heat to medium and cook for a further minute until the soup is nice and hot. Remove from the heat. Pour the pan contents quickly back into the blender and give it one final blend. Remove the serving bowl from the oven and pour in your hot soup. Sprinkle the soup with a little crispy Parma ham powder and top with a sprig of Parsley (optional). Serve with the crispy PKD bread. Enjoy your nutrient dense creamy liver soup! Tips Ideally, purchase your offal, fat 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. 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. Check out my Oven Roasted Bone Marrow, Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker, Tripe Bread and Crispy Parma Ham Powder recipes for instructions on how to make all of these. If you do not have any veal liver then you can substitute with lamb or beef liver. If you do not have any bone marrow then you can substitute with lard, tallow or pork brains. Adjust the bone broth amounts for a thicker or thinner soup, based on your preference. Crispy Pulled Pork Bread also goes wonderfully with this soup! 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 ). Video

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) Liver and Egg Sheet Introduction & Inspiration If you're looking for a sheet that can be used for various recipes including lasagna's and rolls, look no further! Liver turns out to be the perfect ingredient as it cooks into a sturdy sheet and yet remains so very flexible. As a little twist to the basic liver sheet, if you tolerate egg yolks well, you can make this slightly modified version by adding egg yolks on top. The sheets are super simple to whip up and don't require much cooking time. I hope you'll enjoy the possibilities that nutrient dense liver and egg sheets can provide to your health in various recipes. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Liver and Egg Sheet Main Ingredients: 200g Veal Liver 95ml Egg Yolk (~6) Salt To Taste Lard for Greasing Recipe Instructions Preheat the oven to 160c (convection - middle shelf). Remove any silvery membrane from the liver if you can (just to make the final mixture smoother), before placing it into a high speed blender with some salt. Blend, until the mixture is nice and smooth. Grease a silicone baking mat (e.g. De Buyer) with lard. Pour the mixture on top of the silicone mat on a baking tray and spread out a thin, even layer of the mixture using a spatula to cover the mat. Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Remove the baking tray from the oven and pour the egg yolk over the top of the liver sheet. Use a spatula to spread the egg yolk evenly over the liver sheet. Place the baking tray back in the oven and cook for a further 10 minutes (check often towards the end of the cooking time to avoid the egg bubbling up too much. You should be able to peel the sides of the sheet up, without any ingredients sticking to the mat). Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the sheet to cool on the kitchen countertop for 10 minutes or so. If you are not going to be using the liver & egg sheet straightaway, transfer it on to some greaseproof paper and cover. Place it in the fridge. Tips 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. If you do not have any lard for greasing your mat, substitute with tallow. If you do not have any lamb liver, you can certainly use veal or beef liver as well. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate liver and egg sheets into various dishes. As a slightly variation, you can also make a liver and egg sheet too, if you do ok with egg yolks of course. See my Liver and Egg Sheet recipe for this slightly modified version. To achieve an even thinner sheet, you can also add a small amount of bone broth to make the liver mixture slightly thinner before pouring it on top of the silicone mat. Be sure to add an appropriate amount of fat to accompany your sheet, to achieve a perfect PKD ratio. Video

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.

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.

Warm a serving plate in the pre heated oven. Wait for the oven to reach temperature and then turn it off, before adding your serving plate. Wash or soak (30 minutes prior to cooking) the lamb kidney's under running water to remove any bitterness. Slice the kidneys in half and snip out the tight white core with a sharp knife and/or kitchen scissors. Cut the kidney halves up into 1 cm pieces. Add the lard to a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once the lard has melted and the fat and pan are both nice and hot, add the steak and kidney pieces and cook, turning over the steak and kidney regularly, for a few minutes (or longer based on your preferred level of doneness). Heat the sauce up briefly in another pan on its own. Once the steak and kidney is almost cooked to your liking, pour in the sauce and stir into the meat and kidney cooking juices. Lower the heat to low-medium. Cooking for a further minutes until the sauce is nice and hot. Remove the warm serving plate from the oven and add the steak to the centre of the plate. Spoon over the kidney pieces to dress the steak. Drizzle the cooking sauce over the top of the steak and 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. Check out my Alfredo Style Sauce recipe for instructions on how to make this. If you are not a fan of lamb kidney then try a little veal heart or liver, cut into cubes. Video Not available yet....

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Pulled Pork - Ninja Bake Roast Option Introduction & Inspiration Pulled Pork in the Ninja Tendercrisp using the Bake/Roast option is a great way to cook pulled pork if you do not have a BBQ available or if this option is less appealing during the cold, winter months. The Bake/Roast setting creates a great bark on the outside of the meat, while the meat inside is super succulent and an be easily pulled apart with forks. Pulled pork is a great crowd pleaser and can work very well over the holiday period. I hope you will enjoy cooking this dish. Please let me know how it turned out for you. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 4 hours 30 Serving Size 3 - 4 Servings of Pulled Pork Main Ingredients: 1.250 kg Boneless Pork Shoulder Salt To Taste Glaze 1 - 2 Tsp Honey (Optional) or 1 -2 Tsp Tallow or Lard (Optional) 500ml Bone Broth Recipe Instructions Prior to Cooking Place the pork on a wooden chopping board. Sprinkle a little salt on all sides of the pork. Place the pork on a wire rack with a tray underneath and put it in the fridge. When You're ready to cook Add the bone broth to the base of your Ninja Tendercrisp bowl. This will help keep a nice humid cooking environment inside the Ninja Tendercrisp which helps with getting a succulent and juicy pork shoulder. (To Note: Add the cooking basket to the bowl. The base of the basket should be higher up than the bone broth so that the pork is not touching the liquid) Set the Ninja Tendercrisp to Bake/Roast setting and preheat at 120c for 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the fridge, 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 Ninja Tendercrisp. Close the Tendercrisp Lid and cook on Bake/Roast setting for 4 hours at this temperature. Open the lid of the Tendercrisp after the cooking time has ended and drizzle honey over the top and sides of the pork (Optional). You can also brush the top of the meat with lard or tallow instead of honey. Close the lid and cook for a further 15 minutes (or until tender - start checking around 100c - 105C internal temperature). If the pork is still not quite as tender as you would like it, leave it for a little longer. Remove the pork from the Ninja Tendercrisp machine and allow it to rest for 15 minutes on a wooden chopping board. You can cover it loosely with greaseproof paper and then foil. Separate the meat using your fingers, kitchen spatulas or as I like to do, using two forks. Taste the pork to see whether you may wish to add any additional seasoning. Spoon any cooking juices over the meat directly or make a pulled pork sauce with the juices. Enjoy your succulent and moist, juicy pulled pork! Bon Appetit! Tips Ideally remove the butcher's twine from around the pork prior to cooking. Juicy pulled pork served on home-made toasted 'bread' with some delicious pulled pork sauce made from the cooking juices always works really well. 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 Tendercrisp machine. 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. Allow the pork to continue cooking past 77°C. When the internal temperature of the pork reaches between 100c and 105C it's a good idea to check if the pork is ready. 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. Be sure to keep any flavourful juices and pour them over the meat, or you can make your own sauce with the cooking juices to accompany this succulent meat - see my Pulled Pork Sauce recipe. 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. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Pulled Pork into various dishes. Any ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances.
