  • Liver and Egg Pasta

  • Oxtail Fat Jelly Treats

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances), Without Eggs Oxtail Fat Jelly Treats Introduction & Inspiration Oxtail Fat Jelly Treats are an attractive looking savoury dessert with just a hint of sweetness from the cherries. They are easy to prepare and set wonderfully in the fridge. They're a great way of sampling all the loveliness that oxtail in all it's forms (meat, cooking juices and fat) has to offer and have a great PKD ratio. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: These will need a few hours to set in the fridge once made) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 5 x Oxtail Fat Jelly Treats ( 5cm deep appetiser glasses - 5cm diameter) Main Ingredients: 150g Oxtail Leftovers 110ml Oxtail Cooking Juices 85g Oxtail Fat (melted - liquid form) 7.5 Cherries (pitted) Salt To Taste - Optional Optional Decoration Cured Egg Yolk (grated) / Crispy Parma Ham Flakes Recipe Instructions Warm the oxtail and oxtail cooking juices on the stove for a couple of minutes on low heat (add salt to the meat and cooking juices, if using), so that the cooking juices are liquid (as opposed to jelly-like when cold) and the oxtail leftovers are slightly warm. Divide the oxtail leftovers between the terrine glasses, and push down the meat until nice and level using a spoon or a small rolling pin end. Divide the oxtail juices evenly between the terrine glasses, saving room at the top for the oxtail fat. If the oxtail fat is still solid, pop it in a pan and melt it on low heat for a few minutes until it becomes liquid. Divide the liquid oxtail fat evenly between the terrine glasses and insert a cherry into the centre of each terrine. Place the terrines on a serving tray, and put them in the fridge to set fully. This may take a couple of hours. Just before serving, remove the serving tray with the terrines from the fridge. Add half a cherry on top of each terrine and grate a little Cured Egg Yolk (or alternatively, Crispy Parma Ham Flakes) over the top of each glass. Tips 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. Any fruit should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Check out my Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make this. To ensure a good PKD ratio for this savoury dessert, simply ensure that you take note of the difference between the raw weight of the oxtail before cooking (minus the weight of the bones onced you've cooked it) and cooked oxtail leftovers so that you use the appropriate amount of fat for your desserts. If you are not a fan of cherries, simply substitute them for a different fruit like raspberries or strawberries. Blackberries also marry very well with oxtail. Or just leave them plain, for a refreshing savoury dessert. Video

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!

  • Steak Preparation for BBQ

    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

  • Pulled Pork - Ninja Bake Roast Option

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Pulled Pork - Ninja Bake Roast Option Introduction & Inspiration Pulled Pork in the Ninja Tendercrisp using the Bake/Roast option is a great way to cook pulled pork if you do not have a BBQ available or if this option is less appealing during the cold, winter months. The Bake/Roast setting creates a great bark on the outside of the meat, while the meat inside is super succulent and an be easily pulled apart with forks. Pulled pork is a great crowd pleaser and can work very well over the holiday period. I hope you will enjoy cooking this dish. Please let me know how it turned out for you. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 4 hours 30 Serving Size 3 - 4 Servings of Pulled Pork Main Ingredients: 1.250 kg Boneless Pork Shoulder Salt To Taste Glaze 1 - 2 Tsp Honey (Optional) or 1 -2 Tsp Tallow or Lard (Optional) 500ml Bone Broth Recipe Instructions Prior to Cooking Place the pork on a wooden chopping board. Sprinkle a little salt on all sides of the pork. Place the pork on a wire rack with a tray underneath and put it in the fridge. When You're ready to cook Add the bone broth to the base of your Ninja Tendercrisp bowl. This will help keep a nice humid cooking environment inside the Ninja Tendercrisp which helps with getting a succulent and juicy pork shoulder. (To Note: Add the cooking basket to the bowl. The base of the basket should be higher up than the bone broth so that the pork is not touching the liquid) Set the Ninja Tendercrisp to Bake/Roast setting and preheat at 120c for 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the fridge, insert a digital probe into the pork, positioning the tip right in the centre. This will allow you to monitor the internal temperature of the pork without opening the Ninja Tendercrisp. Close the Tendercrisp Lid and cook on Bake/Roast setting for 4 hours at this temperature. Open the lid of the Tendercrisp after the cooking time has ended and drizzle honey over the top and sides of the pork (Optional). You can also brush the top of the meat with lard or tallow instead of honey. Close the lid and cook for a further 15 minutes (or until tender - start checking around 100c - 105C internal temperature). If the pork is still not quite as tender as you would like it, leave it for a little longer. Remove the pork from the Ninja Tendercrisp machine and allow it to rest for 15 minutes on a wooden chopping board. You can cover it loosely with greaseproof paper and then foil. Separate the meat using your fingers, kitchen spatulas or as I like to do, using two forks. Taste the pork to see whether you may wish to add any additional seasoning. Spoon any cooking juices over the meat directly or make a pulled pork sauce with the juices. Enjoy your succulent and moist, juicy pulled pork! Bon Appetit! Tips Ideally remove the butcher's twine from around the pork prior to cooking. Juicy pulled pork served on home-made toasted 'bread' with some delicious pulled pork sauce made from the cooking juices always works really well. Insert a digital probe into the pork, positioning the tip right in the centre. This will allow you to monitor the internal temperature of the pork without opening the Tendercrisp machine. When the pork hits an internal temperature of about 77°C, collagens, which are part of the connective tissues, begin to melt and turn to gelatine. The meat gets much more tender and juicier when this happens. Allow the pork to continue cooking past 77°C. When the internal temperature of the pork reaches between 100c and 105C it's a good idea to check if the pork is ready. Use the method known as "stick a fork in it" to check if your pork shoulder is ready. Basically, insert a fork in the pork and try to rotate it 90 degrees. If it turns with very little pressure, you know it’s ready. The worst thing you can do is take the pork off too soon. Be sure to keep any flavourful juices and pour them over the meat, or you can make your own sauce with the cooking juices to accompany this succulent meat - see my Pulled Pork Sauce recipe. 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 honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small amounts for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

  • Oxtail Mountains

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Oxtail Mountains Introduction & Inspiration Oxtail is both delicious, useful for the body and beneficial to our health. It is packed with flavour and has many nutritional benefits. I was so impressed with Zsófia Clemens's recent oxtail jelly creation that I felt it only fitting to feature one as a summer recipe creation on the site. I love the mountains, and in summer they are especially magic and refreshing, so I hope this dish will be both uplifting and beautiful to you too! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: Extra time will be required for the oxtail mountains to set fully in the fridge) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 3 x Oxtail Mountains (Mould Tins - 7cm Diameter, 4cm Deep) Main Ingredients: 300g Oxtail Cooking Juices 150g Oxtail Leftovers 60g Whipped Oxtail Fat 1 Tsp Tallow for Greasing Salt To Taste 1/2 Tsp Honey (Optional) Garnish 1 Tsp Lard - Grated Parsley (mix of dried & fresh) - Optional Recipe Instructions Place the oxtail cooking juices and leftovers in a pan on low heat. Cook until the ingredients are warm. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Grease 3 mould tins with tallow. Initially divide the oxtail cooking juices from the pan equally between the 3 mould tins. Now divide the oxtail meat equally between the tins. Level off the ingredients in each tin if necessary so that the top is smooth. Place the mould tins on a more sturdy tray and then pop the tray in the fridge and allow the mountains to set fully (ideally several hours or overnight). Whip the oxtail fat as per the recipe instructions (freeze the bowl for 5-10 minutes between whisking if required) until you have achieved the desired consistency. Add a tiny bit of honey to the whipped oxtail and mix in (optional). Cover the whipped oxtail fat and place it in the fridge while the oxtail mountains are fully set. Remove the tins from the fridge once set, together with the whipped oxtail fat. Give the oxtail fat a quick mix as it will have hardened a little with being in the fridge. Carefully remove the oxtail mountains from their tins and place them in their mountain shape on a large platter or individual serving plates. Pour the whipped oxtail fat over the top of each oxtail mountain. Garnish (Optional) For a touch of summertime grass effect, sprinkle a little fresh and dried parsley around the base of each mountain and grate a little lard on the top for the snowy peaks. Climb new heights this summer with this wonderfully refreshing and nutrient dense meal. The sky's the limit! 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.

Check out my Oxtail - Slow Cooker and Whipped Oxtail Fat recipes for instructions on how to make these. These Oxtail Mountains taste great in all seasons, especially summer for their cool and refreshing taste! If you have a silicone mould tray that has a mountain type shape to it, then these will be even better to use than individual tins, especially for easy removal of the oxtail mountains once set.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Leg Of Lamb - Slow Cooked In The Oven Introduction & Inspiration This Slow Cooked Leg of Lamb is going to take your next Sunday meal to a whole new level!

I hope you will give this a try over Spring, or indeed any moment you have time to appreciate this delicious cut of meat among family and friends. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: The leg of lamb preparation should be done several hours before cooking or ideally overnight). Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: Ideally you will need to also allow time to baste your leg of lamb at regular intervals with the cooking juices) Serving Size 4 - 6 Servings Main Ingredients: 1.895 kg Leg Of Lamb 80g Tallow (room temperature) 400ml Bone Broth 180g Smoked Bacon Slices Salt To Taste 2 Carrots (Optional) 1 x Parsnip (Optional) 2 tsp Dried Rosemary or Thyme (Optional) Recipe Instructions Instructions Prior to Cooking : In a large bowl, add the tallow, rosemary and salt. Use a fork to mix all the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Reserve. Place the lamb on a wooden chopping board and pat it dry all over with a paper towel. Score the top of the lamb 3 - 4 times with a sharp knife. Rub the tallow mixture all over the lamb and into the little slits you have created. Cover the lamb, and Ideally leave it in the fridge for several hours (or overnight) before cooking. Instructions for Cooking : Pre-heat the oven to 130c - Convection. Heat up the bone broth in a pan on low heat, until it's nice and hot. Remove the leg of lamb from the fridge and place it on top of a little trivet, in a roasting tin. Cover the top of the lamb with the slices of smoked bacon. Pour the bone broth around the sides of the lamb leg. Peel the parsnip and the carrots (if using) and cut them into small cubes and place around the sides of the lamb leg. Crumple some greaseproof paper, large enough to cover the meat and then wet it under the tap. Cover the leg of lamb with the greaseproof paper and then add some aluminium foil on top and make sure it is well sealed around the roasting tin. Place the roasting tin in the oven and cook for 10-11 hours. (Try and Baste the meat with the cooking juices every hour, and from 9 hours onwards baste the meat and also use two forks to check if you can pull the meat apart easily. Once you can, it's ready). Remove the roasting tin from the oven, baste the meat with the cooking juices and cover again and allow the meat to rest for 30 minutes. Transfer the Leg of Lamb to a wooden chopping board, pour all the juices from the roasting tin into a jar (if not serving straightaway) or else pour the juices into a pan and bring it to a boil over a low-medium heat. Cook, until the juices have reduced to the desired consistency for the sauce reduction. To serve, cut or shred the meat, removing any bones. Place the lamb and vegetables (if using) onto a serving plates (or a serving platter) and drizzle over some of the cooking sauce. To ensure a good PKD meat : fat ratio, add some whipped tallow or other PKD fat of your choice. Enjoy! Tips Ideally use a snug fit roasting tin (i.e. that is only slightly bigger than the lamb leg so that everything stays juicy). This lamb is delicious served with a traditional mint sauce. Check out my Mint Sauce recipe for instructions on how to make this. Try and purchase all 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.

Wash or soak (30 minutes prior to cooking) the lamb kidney's under running water to remove any bitterness. Slice the kidneys in half and snip out the tight white core with a sharp knife and/or kitchen scissors. Chop the sausage into 4 even slices, and slice the lard back fat thinly into 4 long and narrow even strips. Grease a deep sided porcelain dish (large enough to fit 4 lamb kidneys in blankets inside). Take a half of lamb kidney and place a slice of sausage in the centre of the inner side of the kidney. Place the back fat in the centre, on top of the lamb kidney half, and roll the back fat around the entire half of the lamb kidney like a blanket. Place the lamb kidney into the greased dish. Proceed in the same way to make the other 3 lamb kidneys in blankets. Place the dish into the centre of the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked, switch off the oven and add a serving plate to the oven to be warming. While the lamb kidneys are cooking, add the lamb or oxtail cooking juices to a pan. Cook on medium-high heat for 5 - 6 minutes, or until the liquid reduces down to a nice flavourful sauce. Keep an eye on the liquid to ensure it doesn't bubble up into nothing! At the end of cooking, turn off the heat and add the honey to the pan (if using) and stir in well ready to serve. Remove the dish with the lamb kidneys as well as the serving plate, from the oven. Use a spatula to place the lamb kidneys in blankets in the centre of the serving plate and drizzle them with the delicious sauce. Enjoy your meal! Tips 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. Check out my Lamb - Slow Cooker and Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. If you're not able to eat pork fat for any reason, slice some thin strips of beef suet. Try and ensure the lard strips are thin and narrow enough to be able to easily roll them around the centre of the kidney halves. As they cook the kidney should curl a little and start to resemble little hearts. 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).

  • Lamb Crispy Wafers

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Lamb Crispy Wafers Introduction & Inspiration These Lamb Crispy Wafers are a nice, vibrant orange colour. They have a lovely flavour profile to them and can be used to garnish various recipes as well as provide an unusual touch to your recipe creations in the form of basket/bowl to place desserts or other ingredients into, as rolls or as a wafer accompaniment for various dishes. The texture is also super fine like Filo Pastry, so they add a delicate, crispy touch to other recipe ingredient textures. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Lamb Crispy Wafers Main Ingredients 50g Pork Jelly 35ml Lamb Cooking Juices Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions In a pan on low heat melt the pork jelly with the lamb cooking juices and a little salt (if using) and stir the mixture until everything is well combined. 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.
