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. Ideally, purchase your meat, skin and animal fats 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 Leg Of Lamb - Slow Cooked In The Oven, Pork Jelly Cubes and Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. If you do not have any lamb cooking juices handy, then simply substitute with bone broth.

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.

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.

They can be useful as a basket/bowl to place desserts or other ingredients into, as rolls or just simply eaten as is or with a little bacon mayonnaise or other type of topping, almost like you would do with poppadoms.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Tasty Beef and Liver Burger Patties Introduction & Inspiration These burger patties are so juicy, tender and delicious! It's a great way of including liver on a regular basis. If you don't like organ meat these patties will change your mind, because they are so incredibly nutritious and tasty! The patties only take a couple of minutes to prepare, don't require any egg and cook up great in the oven. So go on, give them a try! Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Tasty Beef and Liver Burger Patties Main Ingredients: 140g Chateaubriand Steak (or similar) 80g Veal Liver 10g Pork Jelly Cubes - melted 50g Bone Marrow Salt To Taste Topping For Your Burger Patties (For a good PKD ratio)* 9g Beef Crackling (represents 15g fat) 15g Bone Marrow Recipe Instructions Chop the veal liver and steak into small pieces. Add the pieces to a mini blender along with the salt, bone marrow and melted pork jelly. 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 within a large shallow dish (to retain the cooking juices) on a baking tray. Add half of the patty mixture from the blender into the circle. Use a spoon or burger patty press, to press the patty mixture down into a nice burger patty shape. Carefully remove the circle from around the patty. Repeat the above step, 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 the oven or a frying pan until cooked to your liking. Divide the beef crackling and bone marrow between 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 Pork Jelly Cubes recipe for instructions on how to make this. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate tasty beef and liver burger patties into various dishes. *The burger patties cook up really well in the oven. It's my favourite way of cooking them so far. A little fat will be rendered during the cooking process (approx. 40g total), so be sure to pour the juices back over your burger patties at the end to retain a good PKD ratio. If you are eating the patties on burger buns, then instead of consuming the liquid fat in the form of cooking juices, simply reserve this fat for another recipe and add some extra beef crackling to the tops of your burgers to retain a good PKD ratio. If you don't have any beef crackling available, then simply use pork back fat, lard, tallow, bone marrow or another animal fat to ensure a good PKD ratio of meat to fat. If you are new to eating liver, then veal liver is certainly very mild as compared to beef liver. While you get used to the flavour, you can simply add slightly more steak and less liver if need be. Aim to use a nice tender cut of steak. Video

Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Two Hearts 'Cheesecakes' Introduction & Inspiration This is a delicious cheesecake for Valentine's Day or indeed for any special occasion. The 'cheesecake' base has a nice kind of crunch to it like a traditional biscuit base. The 'cheesecake' filling is very smooth, with a flavour profile that is not particularly strong with respect to the liver and the topping compliments the base very well. It’s a very satisfying savoury type dessert. I hope you'll enjoy it! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than one hour Serving Size 2 x Two Hearts 'Cheesecakes' Main Ingredients: Base: 60g Greaves Pâté 40g Beef Sheet (roughly ground) 1 Tsp Honey (Optional) Topping: 50g Beef Tripe 'Cheesecake' Filling - Sweet 50g Liver Parfait 1 Tsp Honey (Optional) Decoration: 20g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes 5g Beef Crackling 15g Beef Sheet Shapes (Optional) Recipe Instructions Base Instructions: Soften the Greaves Pâté in the microwave on low power for 15 to 20 seconds.

Place a piece of greaseproof paper onto a tray that's large enough to hold both cheesecake bases. Place the 'cheesecake' circular rings on top of the greaseproof paper. Spoon the base mixture evenly between the two circles and then use the back of a spoon to level the mixture off so that the 'cheesecake' bases are as level as possible. (the mixture will come roughly half the way up the circle). Cover the tray with clingfilm and then place the cheesecake' bases in the freezer.

Add the Liver Parfait and honey to the glass bowl and then use a spoon to mix all the ingredients well together. At this point, remove the 'Cheesecake' bases from the freezer. Divide the Topping mixture evenly between the two circles, and use a spoon to level off the tops of the 'Cheesecakes' so that they're as level as possible. Place the Liver 'Cheesecakes' in the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the topping is slightly harder (this will allow you to remove the circular ring from around each cheesecake a little easier). Remove the circular rings from around each 'Cheesecake'. 'Cheesecake' Assembly & Decoration: Chop up the Beef Crackling on a wooden chopping board into little pieces. To decorate each 'Cheesecake', add a heart shape in the centre of the 'Cheesecake' out of crispy Parma ham flakes , and then encircle this heart with a heart made out of Beef Crackling.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Crackling Introduction & Inspiration Beef Crackling is such an amazing by-product of making tallow. These delicious and nutritious nuggets of goodness are so satiating and can be enjoyed as-is, or used in a variety of different ways in recipes. You will love making your own beef tallow, just to appreciate these yummy treats! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 215g Beef Crackling (made from rendering 900g Beef Suet) Main Ingredients: 900g Beef Suet Fat Salt To taste Recipe Instructions Instructions using an Air Fryer Chop the beef suet fat into 4-5 cm cubes approximately. Place the cubes in the basket of an air fryer. Air fryer the cubes, stirring periodically until the cubes reduce in size and most of the fat is rendered. Below are some rough guidelines to use when melting your beef suet ( based on the Ninja Tendercrisp machine on the Air Crisp setting): Temperature Setting 185c - cook for 10 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 190c - cook for 8 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 190c - cook for 5 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 185c - cook for 2 minutes Once the Beef Crackling is done to your liking, carefully remove the crackling with some kitchen tongs, and place them into a glass bowl. If you like these with a touch of salt (depending on what recipes you will be using them in), now is the perfect time to add some while they're warm. Once the Beef Crackling has cooled down, it can be stored in the fridge for several days (although I have found that it doesn't last that long!). Tips If you do not have an air fryer, don't despair. You can simply melt the Beef Suet cubes in a large pot on the stove. It will take a little longer, but the results are well worth the effort! While it can be tempting to add salt to the beef crackling cubes while it is cooking, I tend to only salt my beef crackling once I have removed it from the air fryer, since I want the tallow I am making to be as pure as possible and without any added salt. Beef Crackling can be used as your fat accompaniment for many recipes, as a change from other animal fats. Check out my Beef Crunchies recipe for ideas on how to use this wonderful Beef Crackling. Ideally, purchase your beef suet from pasture raised animals. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Video

Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Blueberry Coulis Introduction & Inspiration This vibrant and versatile Blueberry Coulis is perfect for serving with ice cream, pancakes or layered up in creamy desserts. The use of bone broth instead of just water is also an amazing way to include some extra nutrients. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 160 ml pot of Blueberry Coulis Main Ingredients: 125g Blueberries 100ml Bone Broth 15g - 20g Honey Recipe Instructions Rinse the blueberries under running water. Place the blueberries into a small pan with the bone broth. Cook on low heat and stir regularly. Cook until the blueberries are nice and soft. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a high speed blender. Blend well for 20-30 seconds. Perform a quick taste test to see how sweet the mixture is already. Initially add 15g honey and then mix again in the blender. Check the taste and if necessary add a further 5g of honey and check again. Simply add 5g increments of honey each time until you are happy with the sweetness, since the blueberries may already be reasonably sweet if they are quite ripe. Pour the contents of the blender through a fine mesh sieve, into an airtight glass container. This will help ensure no seeds are present in the Coulis. Once the mix has cooled down, place the glass jar in the fridge. Tips Depending on how ripe your blueberries are, you may wish to adjust the honey accordingly. Any fruit and honey should be of organic quality, and are only recommended for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Video Not Available Yet....

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.

Prepare the oxtail as per the recipe instructions. Grease the insides of the individual metallic bagel/donut moulds with tallow or lard. Warm all the ingredients in a pan on low heat, until the lard has fully melted and the ingredients are warm. Pour the ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until you obtain a smooth mixture. Use a spoon to carefully add the oxtail to the individual donut moulds until full to the top, and then smooth the mixture so that it's level. Place the individual bagel/donut moulds onto a baking tray and place the tray in the centre of a pre heated oven for 25 minutes. Use the ‘browning’ option on your oven to brown the bagels/donuts 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 bagels/donuts to cool for 15 or so minutes on the kitchen countertop. If you are not using your bagels/donuts straightaway, place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef And Lamb Soup Introduction & Inspiration This soup makes for a nice hearty dish on a cold winter’s day, or just about any day actually! I find that the lamb kidney has a similar texture, look and mouthfeel to mushrooms when cooked, but with much more to offer! The soup is very tasty, satisfying and so easy to prepare. Enjoy! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Beef And 'Mushroom' Soup Main Ingredients: 75g Beef - Freshly Minced 75g Lamb - Freshly Minced 50g Lamb Kidney 70g Whipped Bone Marrow (Reserve 2 teaspoons for decoration) 150ml Bone Broth 40g Eskimo Smoked Mangalica Dwarf Sausage (or similar) Salt To Taste Sprig Parsley or Dill (Optional) Recipe Instructions Wash the lamb kidney under running water and then pat it dry with a paper towel. On a wooden chopping board, chop the sausage into small cubes, and then chop the lamb kidney into mushroom shaped bits. In a frying pan on medium-heat, fry the cubes of sausage. After 3 minutes add the minced lamb and beef to the frying pan and continue to cook until the meat is almost cooked. Add a pinch of salt and then pour in the bone broth and add the pieces of lamb kidney. Stir all the ingredients well together. Turn down the heat slightly, stir from time to time and cook for a further 5-6 minutes or until the lamb kidney is done. Perform a taste test to ensure the mixture has enough seasoning. Slowly incorporate the whipped bone marrow into the frying pan mixture and gently stir in with a spatula. Pour the soup into a bowl, top with the remaining Whipped Bone Marrow and a sprig of parsley or dill (optional). Enjoy! Tips Check out my Whipped Bone Marrow and Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. If you are able to tolerate egg yolks, then why not whisk an egg yolk with the bone marrow. If you decide to do this, use a ladle to pour a tiny amount of the hot broth from the pan into the egg mixture and stir until the broth has been fully incorporated. Finally add the egg mixture into the beef, lamb, kidney and sausage ingredients in the pan and stir well so that everything is fully combined. Garnish the soup with fresh dill or parsley and serve nice and hot whenever you want a nutrient boost! Any ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances. If you are unsure, refer to the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet Rules document or consult with ICMNI in Hungary ( Home - Nutriintervention ). 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. Any herbs should be of organic quality, and are only recommended for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Eskimo Smoked Mangalica Dwarf Sausage is a traditional homemade smoked sausage made simply with sea salt and pork, allowing the full flavour of the Mangalica-Duroc pork to shine through. It's also a perfect food for those with allergies or food sensitivities due to the absence of any spices. For best results do not overcook it (it can also be eaten raw).

Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Christmas 'Chocolates' Introduction & Inspiration These PKD 'chocolates' are a nice, guilt free treat to have over the festive period. They contain good quality ingredients, and will provide a nice burst of colour and flavour to your culinary masterpieces. I hope you'll enjoy them. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 30 x Christmas 'Chocolates' (small) Ingredients: Base 'Chocolate' Ingredients: 130g Bone Marrow Liquid 70g Tallow 30g Honey* (optional) 15ml Raspberry Coulis Colour Variation 15ml Blueberry or Blackberry Coulis Recipe Instructions Place the bone marrow liquid, tallow and honey (if using) in a pan, on low heat. Keep stirring the mixture until the honey has completely dissolved and the fats have melted. Pour the contents of the pan through a sieve (and ideally a cheesecloth), into a glass jug. You now need to wait until the mixture has begun to cool down, to the point of beginning to set again (but still easily mixable). If you would like your chocolates to have a hint of colour to them, you can now add a little coulis to your base 'chocolate' ingredients. Give this a good stir in. Pour the mixture into your favourite Christmas moulds and then place them level, in the freezer, to set. Once the chocolates have set, transfer them from the mould into a glass container with a lid, and keep them in the freezer until you're ready to use the 'chocolates'. Tips *Check the taste and if necessary add a further 5g of honey and check again. Simply add 5g increments of honey each time until you are happy with the sweetness. The more coulis you add to the base ingredients, the more likely that this may not set fully, even in the freezer. Ideally, purchase your bones and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Any honey and fruit, if using, should be of organic quality, and are only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

Meanwhile, on a wooden chopping board, cut the smoked sausage into small cubes. Add the sausage cubes to a frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the sausage cubes and any juices from the frying pan to the medium pan with the bone broth and beef cheek in, mixing well to combine all the ingredients. Perform a taste test to ensure the mixture has enough seasoning. Soup Assembly Instructions: In a large bowl whisk the egg yolk and whipped bone marrow together. Use a ladle to pour a tiny amount of the hot broth from the pan into the egg mixture and stir until the broth has been fully incorporated.

Finally add the egg mixture into the beef cheek and sausage ingredients in the pan and stir well so that everything is fully combined. At this point you could always put the pan back on the heat for a couple more minutes if your soup needs a quick blast of heat before serving. Otherwise, simply pour the soup into a bowl and enjoy all the wonderful flavour combinations! Bon Appetit!

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Cured Egg Yolks Introduction & Inspiration Cured Egg Yolks add great umami flavour to any dish and have a lovely vibrant colour. Just grate it over your favourite dishes to add an extra note of flavour. When grated, they taste a little like finely grated Parmesan cheese. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (Once made, they need to be refrigerated for one week, before oven drying) Cooking Time 1 hour Serving Size 5 x Cured Egg Yolks Main Ingredients: 5 Egg Yolks 1kg Salt Recipe Instructions To salt cure the egg yolks, use a deep dish and fill it 1 inch deep with salt. With the back of a spoon, create spaced out wells. Gently drop an egg yolk into each of the wells. Top the yolks with another inch of salt, making sure not to break them and that they are fully covered. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 1 week. ********** After 1 week, it is time to remove the egg yolks from the fridge. Pre-Heat your oven to 95c. Gently dig out each yolk, wiping off any excess salt. The yolks will be firm but slightly sticky when you touch them. Quickly rinse the yolks under running water and dab them dry with some kitchen roll. Space the yolks out on a wire rack on a baking tray. Place the baking tray in the centre of the oven and dry the yolks in the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Once the yolks are dried, remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the cured egg yolks to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container in the fridge (for up to 2 weeks). You could also freeze them for up to 1 month. You can now use your cured egg yolk as a topping for soups, desserts and many side dishes, as you would a hard cheese. Tips You can use more or less egg yolks, as you see fit. Try a small number of egg yolks to begin with, just to see if you actually like the savoury flavour of cured egg yolks. Once you realise that you love them, given the time needed to cure the eggs, I would recommend making at least 6 egg yolks if not more! Try 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.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Tripe Crumbs Introduction & Inspiration Beef Tripe Crumbs are ideal for different recipes like crumble as when dried a little they become a little more crisp while remaining slightly chewy on the inside. Try them out for yourself. You'll be impressed with their texture and versatility. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 60g Beef Tripe Crumbs Main Ingredients: 150g Beef Tripe 'Rice' Recipe Instructions Pre Heat the oven to 150c. Prepare the Beef Tripe ' Rice' as per the recipe instructions. Pour the desired quantity (* See Tips Section Below) of the beef tripe 'rice' onto a greased silicone mat on a baking tray.

Check by testing the crumbs at regular intervals towards the end of the cooking process. Once the Beef Tripe Crumbs are cooked to the right consistency, remove the baking tray from the oven and allow them to cool down. Your Beef Tripe Crumbs are now ready to use. Any Beef Tripe Crumb leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge. Tips Beef tripe will shrink in volume with cooking (expect 50-60% shrinkage), so bear this in mind.
