    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Souffle Omelette Introduction & Inspiration It would be remiss of me, living here in France, to not be inspired by some of the culinary works of Mère Poulard, who owned an inn on Mont-Saint-Michel, in the Normandy region of France over 100+ years ago. Mère Poulard created a great soufflé omelette which is both crispy and yet fluffy at the same time! In this recipe you will learn how to make the original version using whole eggs (see Tips section below) as well as an adapted version for those that don't do well with egg whites. Both, have an incredibly light and airy texture with a wonderful mixture of fluffy, foamy and crispy goodness! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less Than 30 Minutes Serving Size 1 x Soufflé Omelette Main Ingredients: 30g Egg Yolk (2 egg yolks) 30ml Bone Broth 15g Tallow (for frying) 1/4 Tsp Salt Optional Garnish Ideas 1 x Slice of Smoked Ham Tallow (frozen) - Grated Cooked Lamb Kidney Recipe Instructions Place the egg yolks and salt into a metal bowl. Use an electric hand whisk (or regular whisk) and beat the egg mixture vigorously to incorporate as much air as you can. If you're beating this by hand it could take from 6 to 10 minutes. For an electric hand whisk it will take less time, approx. 3 - 4 minutes. Once you have beaten the eggs well, add in the bone broth to the egg mixture and continue to use the electric hand whisk, to whisk the mixture until it becomes nice and frothy. Once the mixture is ready for cooking, work quickly as the bubbles will soon disappear. Add the tallow to the frying pan on a med-high heat. The tallow should be melted and nice and hot. Pour the mixture from the bowl into the hot pan with a spatula. Leave the mixture to get some colouring underneath the omelette. You can use your spatula to lift up the edges of the omelette to check on the colour from time to time. Continue to cook the omelette until the base has a nice golden colour. The top will still look a little foamy, and not fully cooked. This is normal. Once cooked to your liking, use a spatula to gently transfer the soufflé omelette from the pan onto a serving plate. At this stage you can add a little Parma ham and grated tallow to one half of the omelette (optional), before using your spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the top of the filling mixture (if using). Serve immediately. Bon appétit! Tips For those of you who tolerate egg whites well, simply follow the recipe steps above using 2 whole eggs and salt (the bone broth is not needed in this case). 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 ). In the time before Paul Bocuse there was an official distinction (la Mère) given to talented lady cooks; “The Mothers of France”. The originally recipe cooked the omelette in a copper pan on the fireplace (to get an idea of the original recipe, you can watch this video on YouTube Recette : L'omelette de la Mère Poulard | Archive INA . In the absence of a fireplace, the next best thing is making it on the stove in a pan. The secret of the recipe is being able to incorporate the maximum amount of air into the eggs to arrive at an appareil that is extremely frothy. If you are going to beat the egg mixture by hand, like in the original recipe, it can take anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes. If you use an electric whisk, to get the frothy texture you still need to mimic as though you are whisking by hand to try and incorporate as much air as you can, so move the electric whisk around in the bowl. The egg has to be really well beaten, almost like a meringue. You have to work quickly once the mixture is ready, as the bubbles soon disappear. The cooking time should not normally exceed 3-5 minutes. The top is served a little bit foamy and uncooked. So when you slide it on a plate to serve it up you will have the little edges with the foam (especially if you are using whole eggs). It will deflate like a soufflé, but this is normal. The omelette can be served with a garnish (smoked ham, smoked salmon, cooked lamb kidney or bacon for example. There are so many options!). Just remember to add any additional fat or meat as required for the perfect PKD ratio. *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 and be sure to use free range, organic eggs. Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this. If you do not have any tallow handy, then substitute with lard or another animal fat. Video

Grease a silicone baking mat with tallow or lard. Pour 100-105ml of the mixture on to a silicone mat on a baking tray and spread out a thin layer of the mixture using a spatula. Repeat the process for the second sheet. Place the baking trays in the oven and cook for 12-14 minutes (check often towards the end of the cooking time). Remove the baking trays from the oven and allow the sheets to cool. Use an 6-8cm diameter round cutter to cut 6-8 circular disks and 2-3 star shapes per Tripe Sheet. Reserve. Place at least 3 circular disks gently one on top of the other into the centre of a muffin tin or paper bun case and press the base and the sides so that the disks take on the desired shape. Reserve the bases in the fridge. Filling Instructions: In a pan, add the minced meat and stir often until cooked. Pour off any excess juices. Allow the minced meat to cool. Scoop out the bone marrow from the bone and place in a separate bowl. Use a fork to break up the bone marrow a little, but not overly so. (We are looking for the bone marrow to retain some texture). Next add the bone marrow mix and honey to the cool minced meat. Use a spoon and lightly combine all the ingredients together and then leave the mixture to cool. Spoon the mixture evenly between the mince pie bases. Add a star shape to the top of each mince pie. Add any additional lard decorations to the top of the mince pies and then place the mince pies back in the fridge for the filling to harden a little before serving. Topping Instructions: Place a star shape on top of the filling mixture of each mince pie and add an additional lard or tallow shaped decoration on top of each mince pie if desired. To make the decoration, Add a little lard to a piece of greaseproof paper (to the size of the pastry cutter shape) and then pop the lard in the freezer for a few minutes to harden, before cutting the shape out with the cutter. Tips Enjoy these mince pies throughout the festive period! Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised sources that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. 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....

    Fundamentals Tips & Tricks Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD) The PKD way of eating is not complicated at all. It’s very intuitive, which simplifies immensely food preparation and mealtimes, so you spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the other pleasures in life! Organ Meat Organ meats are sometimes referred to as ''offal''. They are the organs of animals that humans prepare and use as food. Organ meats traditionally were once a cherished and prized food in our diets. Liver Liver can be one of those foods that you either love or hate! Beef Tripe You may like me, be only now discovering beef tripe, and all the benefits it has to offer! While I personally never grew up eating very many organ meats (liver was really the only thing we had on rare occasions), I like to think that I can still discover new things and try them out!

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.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Mint Sauce Introduction & Inspiration Mint Sauce is a wonderful accompaniment to roast lamb but it can also be served with lamb chops, cutlets, shanks or even added to a stew. It is so simple to make, and with using the lamb broth it provides it with a nice, almost jelly like texture too! I hope you will give this a try! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 85ml Pot Mint Sauce Main Ingredients: 20g Fresh Mint Leaves 20g Honey 70ml Lamb Cooking Juices (hot) or Bone Broth 3-4 g Pork Jelly Cubes (Optional - See TIPS below) Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Strip the mint leaves from the stalks, and discard the stalks. Place the mint leaves on a chopping board and use a sharp knife and cut the mint into small pieces using a back and forth rocking motion on the knife. Meanwhile in a pan on low heat, heat the lamb cooking juices (and pork jelly cubes if using) and mix well. The mixture should be hot, but not boiling. Place the chopped mint leaves into a glass bowl and then pour in the lamb broth. Use a pestle to crush the mint leaves into the hot lamb broth to release the maximum amount of flavour from the mint. Finally, add the honey into the glass bowl and give it a good mix in, so that all the ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into an airtight glass jar and place it in the fridge. It will become slightly jelly-like in texture, but will not be set solid like a jelly. Tips If you wish to have a slightly jelly like consistency to your mint sauce, you can add a tiny amount of pork jelly cubes to the lamb cooking juices or bone broth. However if you are using rich, gelatinous lamb cooking juices then this is not required as the mint sauce will already inherit these qualities as it cools. Chop the mint finely, but do not turn it into a purée. Give the mint a good pounding with a pestle or rolling pin end, to extract the maximum amount of flavour. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Any honey and herbs should be of organic quality, and are only recommended for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Steak Preparation for BBQ Introduction & Inspiration There is nothing more enjoyable over the summer months than to cook outdoors. Cooking meat on the BBQ is ideal, especially when you have family and friends over. This steak preparation video shows how simple it is to prepare steak for the BBQ, which will allow for a succulent steak with juices that are nice and salty. Good quality meat, prepared and cooked to perfection on the BBQ is a very enjoyable taste experience! Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: The steak should be placed in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour and ideally overnight) Cooking Time 30 minutes to 1 hour (To Note: This will vary depending on the weight of the steak and desired cooking preferences). Serving Size This will vary based on meat weight and serving requirements. Main Ingredients: T Bone Steak Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Prepare your BBQ grill for cooking and ensure the grill is at the desired temperature. Prepare your steak ahead of time by placing it on a wire rack, placed within a baking tray so that air can circulate around the meat. Use rock salt or sea salt to season each side of the steak with salt. Place the meat on the baking tray in the fridge for at least one hour so that the salt, by the process of osmosis, will allow the juices that initially come out of the meat go back in. The juices of the steak will then be nice and salty. Once the meat has sat in the fridge on the wire rack for at least one hour remove it from the fridge. Pat the meat dry with a paper towel on both sides. This will ensure the meat is ready to cook. Place the steak on the heated BBQ grill and cook until the internal temperature of the meat reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak from the BBQ grill onto a serving plate. Allow the steak to rest before slicing it so that the juices in the middle of the steak redistribute towards the outside. Enjoy your succulent BBQ steak! Tips Cooking Times: As a rough guide, for a 1.2kg T Bone Steak, allow 40-45 mins for medium doneness. Before placing your steak onto the BBQ grill, you can brush it with a little melted tallow. This will give the steak a beautiful crust. A digital steak thermometer is a handy device to check the internal temperature of the meat while cooking on the grill, so that you cook your steak to perfection. Serve your succulent steak with some oven roasted bone marrow. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised sources 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: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Mini Liver Pancakes Introduction & Inspiration These cute little liver pancakes take next no time to cook and are great way to consume liver on a regular basis in a fun way! You can eat them as is, or why not add your own favourite toppings to them! They make the perfect party food and are great when you simply feel like an extra boost of liver. Give them a go and see what you think. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less Than 30 minutes Serving Size 6 x Mini Liver Pancakes (8cm Diameter, or makes 9 x 5cm Diameter) Main Ingredients: 200g Lamb Liver 100g Lard (plus extra for frying and greasing) Salt to Taste (optional) Recipe Instructions Rinse your lamb liver under running water and remove any silvery membrane from it. Cut the liver into smaller pieces and add it to a mini blender, together with the lard and a touch of salt (optional). Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is nice and homogenous. Heat up a small amount of lard in a crepe pan or frying pan on medium-high heat. Brush the fat around the pan using a pastry brush. Once the fat has melted completely and the pan is nice and hot, turn the frying pan heat down to medium (#6 on my hob which goes up to #9 ). Grease the inside of a pastry circle. Place the circle on the centre of the pan and use a spoon or spatula to add 1 heaped tablespoon of the mixture into the pastry circle. Use your spoon to level the mixture off. Cook the pancake for 40 - 50 seconds initially. Carefully remove the pastry circle from around the pancake. Use a spatula to carefully flip the pancake over. Cook for a further 30 - 45 seconds approximately ( To Note: the time needed may be less once the pan is nice and hot, so keep an eye on the pancake). Use a spatula to remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Add a little extra fat around the pastry circle, place it in the centre of the frying pan again, and repeat the above steps to make the remaining 5 pancakes. Your Mini Liver Pancakes are now ready! Enjoy! Tips These pancakes can be made in various shapes. Use different pastry cutters for different effects. If you simply use a spoon to add the batter to the frying pan, you arrive at a more oval looking pancake. If you soak the liver in a little salted water for a few hours prior to cooking, it will give the liver an even milder flavour. 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 mini pancakes taste delicious warm. They are still a little pink and juicy on the inside and have an extremely mild flavour. If you don't happen to have any lard to hand, then simply use tallow or another animal fat. For a perfect PKD Ratio consider adding 14g meat on top of each mini liver pancake.

    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

Just before the lamb pork jelly mixture is ready (30 - 45 seconds), heat your crepe pan up on medium-high heat. Once the crepe pan is hot, pour approximately half of the mixture into the crepe pan and use a pastry brush and work quickly to brush the mixture over the surface of the hot crepe pan. You will need to give it a few coats. When the pan is sufficiently hot, you should see the mixture soon change to a light brown type colour within a few seconds. At this point, act quickly with a spatula to lift up the edges of the wafer and then use a pair of kitchen tongs to remove the wafer from the base of the crepe pan on to a serving plate. Repeat the above steps until all the lamb pork jelly mixture has been used up. Your Lamb Crispy Wafers are now ready to use! Tips Be sure to use some kitchen tongs to remove the wafers from the pan. It's so much easier with your hands! If you remove the Lamb Crispy Wafer quickly from the hot crepe pan and place it in a rack in a U shape, the wafer can be used as a taco holder.

Pour the contents of the pan into a high speed blender, add the egg yolk sauce to the blender and blend everything until the mixture is smooth. Grease a small loaf tin and then place a piece of greaseproof paper to line the base of the tin, with the excess covering the sides and sticking slightly out of the tin (this will make it easier to remove the loaf after cooking). Pour the contents of the blender container into the loaf tin with the help of a spatula. Use the spatula to smooth off the top of the loaf. Place the loaf tin on a baking tray and place in the pre-heated oven for 40 minutes. Once, done, brown the top of the loaf for 5-10 minutes to have a slightly golden finish to it. Keep an eye on the loaf to ensure it doesn't burn! Remove the loaf tin from the oven, use a pastry brush to brush the top of the loaf with a little lard. Allow the loaf to rest on the countertop to cool. If you are not going to be eating the pulled pork bread straightaway, store in an airtight container in the fridge. Tips Ideally, purchase your meat and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.
