Regime Type: Crunchy Veal Heart Introduction & Inspiration Savour the rich textures and deep flavours of this quick and easy gourmet dish. Veal heart serves as the foundation, coated in a savoury veal liver mixture that perfectly adheres the crunchy coarse beef flour coating. Slices of raw bone marrow on top ensure the heart remains nice and succulent during cooking. I hope you'll give this recipe a try! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Crunchy Veal Heart Main Ingredients: 115g Veal (or Beef) Heart 25g Roast Beef Flour (coarse powder) 25ml Veal Liver 75g Raw Bone Marrow Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pre heat the air fryer to 200c. Push the bone marrow out of the bones and chop it into thin slices. Add the veal liver to a high speed blender. Blend the mixture until the veal liver is completely liquidised and smooth. Use a spatula to add the liquidised veal liver to a dish and pour the roast beef flour into another dish. Pat the heart dry with kitchen roll. Using some kitchen tongs, dip the heart into the liquidised liver and coat the heart on both sides. Now, dip the heart into the roast beef flour and use the kitchen tongs to turn the heart slice over in the dish to coat the heart fully on all sides with the flour. Use a spatula to add any remaining liver from the bowl on top of the veal heart. Transfer the heart to an ovenproof plate and place this on a trivet with handles (this will allow you to easily remove the heart at the end of cooking). Sprinkle a little salt over the top of the meat. Place the slices of bone marrow evenly over the top of heart to completely cover it. Once the air fryer has finished preheating, add the trivet and plate to the air fryer and cook for 6 minutes. Once done, remove the trivet and plate from the air fryer. Use a spatula to transfer the veal heart onto a warm serving plate. Pour any cooking juices from the air fryer container over the top of the meat. Enjoy! Tips By keeping the top of the heart covered in fat, the heart remains nice and moist. The recipe tastes great using veal or beef heart. Ideally, purchase your meat, bones, 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 Roast Beef Flour recipe for instructions on how to make this. Another version worth trying is to coat the heart in beef tripe 'rice' and top the heart with beef crackling. Simply adjust the crackling based on how much 'rice' you use for a good 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. 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....

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Tripe Bolognaise Introduction & Inspiration Beef Tripe Bolognaise is a lovely way to use the beef tripe 'pasta' with a nice meaty filling, covered in a rich creamy sauce. It's a satisfying autumn dish which is both nutrient dense and extremely tasty! Bolognaise made like this has taken on a whole new meaning for me. It's so pleasurable to have a PKD version that is healthy, tasty and easy to make. I hope you'll give this a try too! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Beef Tripe Bolognaise Main Ingredients: 2/3 of a sheet Beef Tripe 'Pasta' (approx. 80g) 65g Minced Beef 55g Lamb Kidney 40g Pork Jelly Cubes 30g Lard - for frying Salt To Taste 5g Crispy Parma Ham Powder Topping: 110ml Alfredo Style Sauce Basil (Optional) Crispy Parma Ham Powder (Optional) Cured Egg - Grated (Optional) Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Make the beef tripe 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 beef tripe 'pasta' to fall into. Reserve. Chop the pork jelly and lamb kidney into small cubes. Add the lard to a medium sized frying pan on medium-high heat. Once the lard has melted and the pan is nice and hot, add the minced beef, pork jelly and lamb kidney to the pan. Use a spatula to stir the ingredients in. Add the crispy Parma ham powder and stir in well. Stir from time to time until all the meat and kidney is cooked to your liking. Perform a quick taste test and see if any extra seasoning is required, and if so, add a pinch of salt and then stir in. Turn off the heat. Warm the serving dish 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 bowl of beef tripe 'pasta'. Remove the hot dish from the oven. Use a spatula to add the bolognaise on top of your 'pasta'. Pour the Alfredo style sauce over the meat and 'pasta'. Season your bolognaise with a little basil and crispy Parma ham powder and top with some grated cured egg yolk (optional). Enjoy nice and hot! Tips If you do not have any lamb kidney then you could always use some veal liver or heart, or simply add extra minced beef. Your beef tripe sheet should be at least 1 day old, as otherwise it's difficult to cut using the machine attachment. If you do not have a machine to cut the sheet into fettucine type strips, simply place the sheet on a large wooden chopping board and cut long strips with a sharp knife or pizza cutter (width of approximately 6mm). They're just as good. I just like using my gadgets! 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. 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) Crispy Sautéed Sweetbreads Served On A Flat Bottom Sweetbread Muffin Introduction & Inspiration Prepare to savour the delicate flavours and unique texture of crispy sautéed sweetbreads served on a beef and sweetbread muffin. Sweetbreads are a gourmet experience and an excellent nutritional source. With a creamy yet crisp texture, this dish promises to be a memorable addition to your culinary repertoire. I hope you'll enjoy this one. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Crispy S autéed Sweetbreads Served On A Flat Bottom Sweetbread Muffin Main Ingredients: 1 x Flat Bottom Beef and Sweetbread Muffin 110g Prepared Sweetbread 100g Oxtail Cooking Juices/Jelly Oxtail Fat for Frying Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Prepare the sweetbread as per the recipe instructions. Ensure your sweetbread is nice and dry. Pat it with a paper towel if necessary. In a large pan, heat the tallow or lard over medium-high heat. Add the sweetbread. When the fat has melted, sprinkle the sweetbread with a little salt before adding to the centre of the hot pan. Use a splash or splatter guard to cover the frying pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, basting your sweetbread from time to time. While your sweetbread is cooking, pour the oxtail cooking juices and a pinch of salt into a pan on medium-high heat. 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 oxtail sauce from the pan into a serving jug ready for use. Turn the sweetbread over with a kitchen tong, baste it with the hot oil and then add the splatter guard back on top of the frying pan. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the sweetbread becomes golden brown and crisp. Transfer the cooked sweetbread to a wooden chopping board to rest for a few minutes, before slicing. Warm up your muffin on a serving plate, before adding the slices of sweetbread on top of the muffin using kitchen tongs. Add a sprinkle of salt over the sweetbreads and drizzle with the hot sauce. Enjoy! Tips Check out my Preparing Sweetbreads recipe for instructions on how to prep your sweetbreads. If you like this recipe why not check out my Crispy Sautéed Sweetbreads Served With A Beef Cheek Sauce. The sweetbreads are perishable and so when you get them, cook them as soon as possible. The sweetbreads shouldn't be pink inside, it should be cooked in the centre. The soaking and pressing process helps draw out all of the blood and impurities. Ideally, purchase your 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 sweetbreads into various dishes. Fun fact: The name sweetbreads? Well, they are sweet because they taste richer and sweeter compared to typical meat, and they are bread because the old English word for flesh is bræd. Fun fact: Sweetbreads were once very commonplace, especially in the 1700s and 1800s. Fried, breaded sweetbreads were commonly used as a garnish for meat dishes. These days, they're more expensive and rare than they were back then, so they're treated as a delicacy and usually served on their own. Video Not Available Yet....

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Braised Beef Cheek - Slow Cooker Introduction & Inspiration Beef cheeks are in my mind a really under-appreciated beef cut. They're rich in gelatine and collagen since they are covered with tiny connective tissues. They lend themselves so well to a low and slow method of cooking, becoming very juicy and gelatinous in the process! I hope you will try this recipe out to experience first hand this incredibly delicious, melt in the mouth cut of beef. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 13 hours Serving Size 3 Main Ingredients: 620g Beef Cheek Salt (for Brining) 250ml Bone Broth 2 tbsp Tallow or Lard or Pork Back Fat Sprig Thyme or Rosemary (Optional) Recipe Instructions Place the beef cheek in a glass bowl and add 2 cups of water as well as 2 tbsp of salt. Mix the salt into the water and then place the bowl in the fridge for several hours (5 or so). Remove the glass bowl from the fridge and discard the salt water. Pat the beef cheek dry with paper towels. Add an extra sprinkle of salt (optional) over the meat. In your slow cooker, set the option to ‘Sear’ and melt the fat. Once the fat is hot, place the beef cheek into the slow cooker and sear all the sides of the meat. Use kitchen tongs to turn the beef cheek over until all the sides of the meat have a little colour. Switch off the ‘Sear’ option. Add one cup of bone broth to the slow cooker and any herbs (optional). Add the lid on to the slow cooker, set the valve on the lid to ‘Vent’ and then set to Low on the slow cooker and cook for 13 hours. Once the beef cheek is done, remove it from the slow cooker onto a wooden chopping board (tented with a little aluminium foil) and allow the meat to rest. Strain the beef cheek cooking liquid into a smaller pan over a low-medium heat. Stir from time to time while the sauce reduces and thickens slightly. To serve, slice the beef cheek on a cutting board and then place on serving plates and glaze the beef with the sauce. Tips You will know when the meat is cooked as you should be able to easily slice through it with a spoon. Try serving the beef cheek on a bed of mash. Check out my Creamy Tripe Mash recipe for instructions on how to make this. 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.

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 ).
