X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 4 x 'Bread' Circles - Beef Cheek Main Ingredients: 160g Beef Cheek Leftovers 90g Bone Marrow - Whipped 60ml Bone Broth Salt to Taste Recipe Instructions Preheat the oven to 160c. Melt the whipped bone marrow in a medium pan with all the other ingredients. Once the whipped bone marrow has melted, place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend the ingredients for 30 - 60 seconds until smooth. Place a silicone mat on a baking tray with 4 metallic circles (greased on the inside with tallow or lard) on top. Divide the contents of the blender equally between the 4 metallic circles and smooth the circle tops flat with a spoon if need be. Place the baking tray in a preheated oven at 160° and cook for 25 minutes. Use the ‘browning’ option on your oven to brown the 'Bread' Circles for 3-5 minutes (keep an eye on them so that they don't burn!) Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the 'Bread' circles to cool on the countertop. Once the 'Bread' circles are cool enough to handle, carefully remove the metallic circles from around them. Your ‘Bread’ circles are ready! (If you are not using your 'Bread' circles immediately, then simply place them into an airtight container and store them in the fridge). Tips Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker, Whipped Bone Marrow and Braised Beef Cheek- Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. 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. As they cool, these 'bread' circles will become even sturdier and are ideal for making sandwiches. Video Not Available Yet....

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

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

Repeat this process for all the beef flake holes. Place the silicone mould tray in the fridge and allow the Beef Flake Cakes to harden for 1-2 hours. Decoration Instructions: Remove the Beef Flake Cakes carefully from the silicone mould and place on a serving plate. Place 1 x 'Chocolate' shape and 1 x Oxtail Jelly Shape in the centre of each cake.

This technique is simple and yields a succulent, juicy result. It's a very simple method which is still used here in some French homes whereby the chicken is roasted, starting from a cold oven. Not only does the chicken become nicely coloured, and yields a succulent, juicy result but it also generates the most delicious caramelised roast chicken cooking juices with all the natural fat from the chicken. For such a minimal effort, the results are really impressive. So why not go ahead and give this one a try!

Place the chicken in the roasting tray/dish. Pour the remaining melted tallow over the top of the chicken and use a pastry brush to brush the liquid into the legs and wings. Cut the tallow into 4 smaller pieces. Place a piece of tallow between each of the legs and wings of the chicken. Sprinkle salt over the chicken. Add the roasting dish with the chicken to a cold oven. For a 1.5kg chicken, set the oven to 200c with the Forced Air function on. Cook for 70 minutes. For a chicken weighing slightly more than 1.5kg, set the oven temperature to 190c with the Forced Air function** on. Cook for 80-90 minutes without opening the door (this is very important to avoid the steam escaping). Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cooling rack and cover with greaseproof paper and a sheet of foil. Let it rest for at least 20+ minutes before carving. Pour the cooking juices into a jug (you can sieve it first should you wish). Once the chicken has cooled for at least 20 minutes, transfer it onto a wooden chopping board and carve the chicken. To serve, add the chicken slices to serving plates (or a serving platter), and pour the delicious roast chicken cooking juices over the meat. Add a little extra fat for a good Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD) ratio. Enjoy! Tips Should your chicken be slightly larger in size than 1.5kg, reduce the cooking temperature to 190c and extend the cooking time by 10 to 20 minutes. *Tallow can be substituted with lard. **Forced Air function allows you to cook a variety of food requiring the same cooking temperature on two shelves at the same time (e.g.: fish, vegetables, cakes). This function can be used to cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to another. Use the 2nd shelf to cook on one shelf only. To cook on two shelves, use the 1st and 4th levels after preheating the oven. To watch the original video done by the French Cooking Academy simply visit: COLD START ROAST CHICKEN — French Cooking Academy ( thefrenchcookingacademy.com ) 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.

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Pork Terrine Introduction & Inspiration What could be nicer over the festive period than a beautiful terrine. A night in the fridge, and it will cut into beautiful rectangular slabs with the pork fat studded throughout like jewels. Most importantly, it will sit happily in the fridge for several days, but also freezes well-wrapped, meaning you can make it now, and then not think about it again until the day before you wish to serve it as a quiet supper, or as an impressive starter. It has a great PKD ratio too. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Up to 1 Hour Serving Size 1 x Pork Terrine (17.5cm x 11.5cm x 6cm) Main Ingredients: 325g Pork Shoulder (minced) 380g Pig's Throat (or else Pork Belly) 1g Rosemary (Optional) 10g Crispy Parma Ham Powder (Optional) 35ml Egg Yolk (~2 egg yolks) 4 Frozen Raspberries or Cherries - Pitted (Optional) 25g Smallholder's Blueberry Honey (Optional) 6g Salt Recipe Instructions Chop the pork into rough cubes in preparation for mincing. Cut the pork neck into medium-sized cubes, approximately 2 cm square. Pass the pork through the mincer and place it in the mixing bowl. Add the salt, rosemary and Crispy Parma Ham Powder (if using). Mix together on medium speed for up to 3 minutes. Add the egg yolk and mix on low speed for a further 2 minutes until the mixture resembles a sticky paste. Then add the pork neck, the blueberry honey and a few raspberries or cherries (if using). Mix for an additional 1-2 minutes on low speed until the mixture becomes cohesive. Pour the mixture into the terrine dish and press downwards to fill out into the corners and remove any air bubbles. Place the dish under the grill, close to the heating element, until the top of the terrine forms a light brown crust (around 10 minutes). Cook the terrine uncovered in the oven at 160°C for 45 minutes to one hour. Use a thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the terrine. The terrine is ready when the core temperature reaches 80°C. Once cooked, cover the dish and leave it to rest at room temperature for 2 hours. Then place it in the fridge and let it rest overnight. You can eat the terrine the next day or keep it for up to 3 days unsliced and covered in the fridge. Ensure you take the terrine out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Tips Ideally, purchase your meat, 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. 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 honey, fruit 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. Check out my Crispy Parma Ham Powder recipe for instructions on how to make this. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Pork Terrine into various dishes. Pig's throat is a kind of "fatty lard" and so allows the terrine to have a perfect PKD ratio. If you cannot get hold of pig's throat, then use some pork back fat or some pork belly.
