    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Pulled Pork Bread Introduction & Inspiration First of all, what's not to like about pulled pork! It's deliciously succulent and juicy and is a great crowd pleaser, especially when you have lots of family and friends over. So I was eager to create a pulled pork bread that shared these wonderful qualities, with a good PKD ratio, and a taste that both PKD and non PKD folks alike will enjoy! The bread has a nice crust that forms on top and is sturdy enough for sandwiches. It can also be pan fried to make it nice and crispy to accompany various dishes. Please do give this one a try and let me know what you think. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Pulled Pork Bread Loaf (15cm x 7.5cm x 5cm) Main Ingredients: 200g Pulled Pork Leftovers 70g Lard 60ml Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised 60ml Bone Broth Salt To Taste Glaze: 1 tsp Lard Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 160c. Place all the ingredients, except the egg yolk, into a pan on low heat. Cook for a few minutes until all the lard has melted and the pulled pork is warm. 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. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs for the egg yolk sauce. 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 ). Check out my BBQ Pulled Pork, Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker and Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised recipes for instructions on how to make these. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Pulled Pork Bread into various dishes. If you do not have any lard to hand, then substitute with tallow or another animal fat. 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: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs 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.

    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) Tasty Beef and Heart Burger Patties Introduction & Inspiration Beef and heart is a lovely combo for burger patties. They are juicy and delicious when cooked and full of flavour. They are super quick to make, have a great PKD ratio and can be made ahead of time if need be. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Tasty Beef and Heart Burger Patties (9cm diameter) Main Ingredients: 160g Chateaubriand Steak (or similar) 90g Veal Heart 55g Tallow 20g Beef Crackling (represents 33g fat) Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Chop the veal heart and steak into small pieces. Add the pieces to a mini blender along with the salt and lard. Blend briefly until all the ingredients are well combined, but avoid over blending. Place a pastry circle (or burger patty circle) on top of a piece of greaseproof paper. Add half of the patty mixture from the blender into the 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. Otherwise, go ahead and cook the patties in a shallow dish in the oven (to retain the cooking juices) . Add the beef crackling to the top of your burger patties (to ensure a good PKD ratio) and drizzle with any cooking juices. 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 Beef Crackling recipe for instructions on how to make this. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Tasty Beef and Heart Burger Patties into various dishes. If you don't have any beef crackling available, then simply use pork back fat, lard, tallow, bone marrow or other animal fat to ensure a good PKD ratio of meat to fat. The burger patties cook up really well in the oven. A small amount of fat will be rendered during the cooking process, 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. If you are new to eating heart, then veal heart is certainly very mild. While you get used to incorporating heart, you can simply add slightly more steak and less heart if need be.
