Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Tripe Sheets With Beef Introduction & Inspiration These nutrient dense Beef Tripe Sheets With Beef are easy to prepare and useful for so many recipes. You can use them to make samosas, rolls, tripe with beef flakes for desserts, ice cream wafers....the list goes on and on. I hope you will give them a whirl! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 3 x Beef Tripe Sheets With Beef Main Ingredients: 100g Pressure Cooked Beef Tripe 110g Cooked Minced Meat 80ml Bone Broth 80g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Preheat oven to 175c (convection- middle shelf). Place all the ingredients into a pan on low-medium heat, and allow the bone marrow to melt and the other ingredients to be warm (5 minutes or so). Allow the mixture to cool slightly and then pour all ingredients out of the pan into a high speed blender and blend until the mixture is nice and smooth. Grease a silicone baking mat (e.g. De Buyer) with tallow or lard. Pour approx. 100ml of the mixture on to the silicone mat (that's on a baking tray) and spread out a thin layer of the mixture using a spatula. Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 14 minutes (check often towards the end of the cooking time) Once cooked, remove the baking tray from the oven on to a heat resistant mat on the kitchen countertop and allow to cool for a few minutes. While still warm, transfer the sheet on to some greaseproof paper to avoid it going cold and potentially sticking to the silicone mat (this shouldn't happen if you greased the silicone mat). Repeat the above steps to make the remaining sheet. Store the Beef Tripe Sheets With Beef in your fridge. Tips Ideally, purchase your meat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Creamy Beef Fillet Risotto Introduction & Inspiration This dish makes for a wonderfully satiating and tasty meal that is also nutrient dense. The succulent beef fillet steak is served on a bed of beef tripe 'rice' in a creamy 'risotto' style sauce with tender bone marrow slices served on a flat bottom offal muffin. As a finishing touch, the dish is drizzled with a rich and flavour-packed beef shin sauce that is both satisfying and amplifies the overall taste of the dish! 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 Creamy Beef Fillet Risotto Main Ingredients: 140g Beef Fillet Steak 80g Beef Tripe 'Rice' 1 x Flat Bottom Offal Muffin 30ml Beef Shin Sauce 70ml Alfredo Style Sauce 30g Tallow or Lard, plus extra for frying 45g Raw Bone Marrow Salt to Taste Recipe Instructions Bring the fillet steak to room temperature (20 - 30 minutes before cooking). Pre heat the oven to 150c. Place the tallow in a frying pan with the beef tripe 'rice'. Cook for a few minutes on high heat and use a spatula to coat the tripe in the fat. Pour in the Alfredo style sauce and some salt. Stir everything well and turn the heat down to low. Stir from time to time. Meanwhile, pat the fillet steak dry with a paper towel, coat with a little hot liquid tallow or lard and then season all over with salt. In a separate pan melt the remaining fat. When smoking hot, add the beef cut-side down and move around the pan for the first few seconds of cooking so it doesn't stick. After this point, leave the beef to caramelise without moving it for 2–3 minutes, until it has a wonderful golden crust. Turn the steak over and repeat. Sear the steak along the edges to obtain a nice colour, then sit it on its base. Add a little extra tallow or lard. Allow to melt and bubble, all the while basting the fat over the steak, for 2–3 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare finish (or longer depending on how you like it). Remove from the heat, tent with a little foil and allow to rest. Cut the raw bone marrow into 4 thin slices. Add the slices to the pan (that had the beef in) and cook briefly, before turning over and cooking the other side. Turn off the heat. Add the beef tripe 'risotto' mixture to the base of your serving plate. Place the offal muffin in the centre of the dish. Slice the fillet steak into 7 or 8 pieces and place the slices around the muffin to form a flower type effect. Add the bone marrow slices to the top of the muffin. Once the oven is up to temperature, switch it off and add the serving plate on a baking tray for a couple of minutes so that everything is nice and hot. Meanwhile, warm up your beef gravy/sauce. Remove the serving plate from the oven, sprinkle the bone marrow slices with a little salt and drizzle over the hot beef shin sauce. Enjoy! Tips Any tender cut of beef will work for this dish. You can use any rich and flavourful gravy for the sauce (oxtail, beef cheek etc.). 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.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Liver Pasta Introduction & Inspiration The liver sheets work perfectly to make 'pasta'. Clearly we're not talking about traditional pasta here with its huge carb load and detrimental ingredient profile. Rather, we are talking about Spaghetti or Fettucine style liver pasta, which is a lot more beneficial to our health and well-being, and is delicious to boot! Making liver 'pasta' can be facilitated with a couple of pasta attachments for the KitchenAid, if you happen to have one handy. I always wondered what would become of these attachments once I changed to a healthier way of eating. I am pleased to say these attachments have got a new lease of life, making this healthier type of 'pasta'. Otherwise, using a regular old kitchen knife or pizza cutter is just as good for cutting your fettuccine and spaghetti style strips and is probably quicker, but I do love my kitchen gadgets! So go on, give this new style of 'pasta' making a try. Your body, taste buds and health will thank you for it! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time N/A Serving Size Liver 'Pasta' - Fettucine and Spaghetti style Main Ingredients: 1 x Liver Sheet Recipe Instructions Important: Make your Liver sheet as per the recipe instructions. Allow the sheet to cool down fully, before placing it in the fridge for at least one day as it needs to have slightly less moisture in it, i.e. be slightly drier. If you use the sheet too soon, it may not cut well with the pasta attachment, especially for spaghetti style 'pasta'. Perform a test with a small piece of the sheet if need be, to check it's ready and dry enough. Ignore this note if you'll be making your 'pasta' using the manual method. KitchenAid Method Cut your liver sheet into smaller sheets so that the width of each sheet will fit into your pasta attachment. Add a 'Fettucine' or a 'Spaghetti' attachment to a KitchenAid device, switch the machine on to a Medium speed. Slowly feed the end of one of the sheets into the machine, placing a bowl underneath the attachment for the 'pasta' to fall into. Reserve. Manual Method If you do not have a machine, simply place the sheet on a large wooden chopping board and cut long strips with a width of approximately 5mm for fettucine and 2-3 mm for spaghetti (this can be a little more tricky, so take your time!). Your liver ‘pasta’ is ready! Tips Ideally, purchase your offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Check out my Liver Sheet recipe for instructions on how to make this. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Liver 'Pasta' into various dishes. As a variation on Liver 'Pasta', why not try making Beef Tripe 'Pasta' or Liver and Egg 'Pasta' too! Be sure to add an appropriate amount of fat to accompany your 'pasta', to achieve a perfect PKD ratio. Video

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.

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) Preparing Sweetbreads Introduction & Inspiration Sweetbreads are a real delicacy and are highly nutritious. They can be cooked in many different ways, and are very mild tasting, tender and creamy. In order to give them the best possible flavour and texture, it's important to properly prep the sweetbreads before cooking them. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes ( To Note: Plus several hours for soaking and pressing (optional) the sweetbreads see Tips section below) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 160g Prepared Veal Sweetbreads Main Ingredients: 215g Veal Sweetbreads Salt Recipe Instructions Place the sweetbreads in a bowl of salted water for 2 hours to get rid of any impurities. You can change the water a couple of times during the soaking process. Bring some water to boil in a large pot. Add the sweetbreads and reduce the temperature to lightly poach them for about 5-10 minutes (you don't want to boil it as otherwise it will become tough). The water should be just gently bubbling. Every once in a while give the water a stir and check on the firmness of the sweetbreads. Prepare a glass bowl with cold water and ice cubes that will serve as an ice bath that you will place the sweetbreads into once they have finished poaching (this will shock them, make them contract and expel any further impurities). Use a large slotted spoon to lower the sweetbreads carefully into the ice bath. Let the sweetbreads sit in the ice bath for about 5 - 10 minutes. Rinse the sweetbreads under running water. Transfer the sweetbreads to a large chopping board and pat them dry. Cover the sweetbreads with a sheet of greaseproof paper and then add a heavy pan or pot on top of the sweetbreads to weight them down (for a couple of hours or overnight). To clean the sweetbreads, remove any remaining tough membrane, gristle, fat, or veins. This is best done with your fingers and a small sharp knife or indeed a pair of kitchen scissors. The tricky part is doing this while keeping the sweetbreads whole as they are still quite tender at this stage. It's a little tedious, but will help to improve the texture of the end product so that it's less chewy. Your sweetbreads are now prepped and are ready to cook in any number of ways. Tips The sweetbreads are perishable and so when you get them, cook them as soon as possible. Sweetbreads shouldn't be pink inside, it should be cooked in the centre. The soaking process helps draw out all of the blood and impurities. You can if you wish skip the step of weighting the sweetbreads down. This is more of a traditional step in classical cooking. The pressure gives them a firmer texture (pressing pushes out all the excess moisture) and a more uniform shape, so that they are easy to slice into medallions. If you skip this step, they may be a little bit more spongy in texture and less uniform, but still delicious! If you can't get all of the outer membrane layer off, it's not an issue. Texture wise, It might be a little chewier and slightly less creamy. Classically, the sweetbreads are normally poached before removing the membrane. You can however remove the membrane while the sweetbread is raw as well. Many chefs do this. 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. Sweetbreads go really well with smoked bacon, black pudding and a mint garnish.

Add the pieces to a mini blender along with some salt. Blend briefly until all the ingredients are well combined, but avoid over blending. Add the mixture to a glass bowl. Place a pastry circle (or burger patty circle) on top of a piece of greaseproof paper. Add half of the patty mixture into the burger patty circle. Use a spoon/burger patty press to press the patty down into a nice burger patty shape. Carefully remove the circle from around the patty. Repeat, to make the second burger patty. If you're not cooking your burger patties straightaway, place the patties in an airtight container in the fridge.

Drizzle your steak crackling burger patties with any cooking juices to retain a good PKD ratio. Enjoy! Tips Be sure to use a nice, tender piece of steak.

A small amount of fat will be rendered during the cooking process (approx. 10g per burger patty), so be sure to pour the juices over your burger at the end to retain a good PKD ratio. If you have an issue with consuming liquid fat, then simply reserve this for another recipe and add some extra fat to the tops of your burger patties to retain a good PKD ratio. Video

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.
