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

It marries wonderfully with sour cherries as an optional extra. I hope you will give it a try! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: The ice cream needs to be placed in the freezer for at least 24 hours once made) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 350ml Greaves Pâté Ice Cream Main Ingredients: 70g Greaves Pâté 30g Honey 250ml Bone Broth 3g Sour Cherries (Optional) Recipe Instructions Pour all the ingredients into a pan and cook on low heat until the greaves pâté and honey have melted into the bone broth. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a high speed blender and blend until everything is nice and smooth. At this point, taste the mixture. If need be, add 5g more of honey and proceed to re-blend if necessary. Pour the contents of the blender into a Ninja Creami Pot (or other airtight glass container ideally). Place the lid on your pot, and place it upright (& level) in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours before proceeding to make your Greaves Pâté Ice Cream. Place the ice cream pot in your Ninja Creami device and proceed to mix the ice cream. This may take 3 or 4 spins using the Light Ice Cream option. Once the ice cream is ready, y ou can use the Extras function and add the sour cherries (optional). Your Greaves Pâté Ice Cream is ready to serve. Tips Even if you do not have a Ninja Creami device it's still possible to make this ice cream. You will simply need to mix it several times as it freezes (initially every 30 or so minutes) and then when it's been in the freezer overnight, you will need to leave it out of the freezer for a good 35-40 minutes so that it's soft enough to give it another good mix before serving. The Greaves Pâté is made from 100% pork greaves and is an extremely rich, dense and slightly textured paste. Although creamy in texture, the product does not contain any dairy and is also guaranteed free of milk and additives! You can order this, and other wonderful products, from Eskimo Kitchen in Hungary: Eskimokitchen.eu 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. Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this. You can also serve this delicious ice cream with some Beef Crackling , thin wafers using Beef Sheet or Tripe Sheet for example, or indeed use the ice cream to make a Greaves Pâté Ice Cream Nest or a refreshingly creamy Greaves Pâté Milkshake. The possibilities are endless! Video Not Available Yet....

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. Any honey 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 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.

The result was a tasty mixture of subtle flavours in these moist little muffins, with a nice variety of colourful toppings. These Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD) inspired mini muffins really hit the spot and are packed full of nutrients at the same time!

Podcasts When I am on the move, I like to use my time productively and often listen to some of my favourite health and wellness related podcasts. The podcasts are hosted by health professionals with a substantial amount of experience behind them and who are brave enough to speak about health related topics which you will never hear discussed in mainstream medicine. I hope you will enjoy listening to them as much as I do. Dr. Shawn Baker This is one of my favourite podcasts right now. I listen to it most days when I am out and about in the car with the kids. The podcast is hosted by Dr Shawn Baker, a highly regarded orthopedic surgeon with more than 30 years of experience. For those unfamiliar with Dr Baker he is a strong advocate of the carnivore diet. The podcast shares interviews with both VIP guests, as well as regular folks from all walks of life that have overcome a whole host of very serious medical conditions using the carnivore diet. These stories are truly inspiring and life changing, and help reinforce the power that species appropriate nutrition can have on human health. Two episodes well worth listening to, among the many brilliant episodes available, are: Carnivore Community Meeting with Dr Zsofia Clemens Zsofia Clemens - Community VIP The Plant Free MD For those not familiar with Dr Anthony Chaffee who presents this podcast, he’s an American medical doctor and Neurosurgical resident who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors are caused by the food we eat, or don't eat, and can be reversed with dietary changes to a species specific diet. Dr Anthony Chaffee has been on a carnivore diet for many years now and has seen the health benefits for himself, his loved ones and his patients. The podcast is very rich in good quality information, referencing numerous studies and includes special guest speakers as well as regular people who have overcome a plethora of serious health conditions and who share their stories. I love how Dr Chaffee sticks to facts, not fiction and strives to share his knowledge, time and ongoing research work with listeners regarding health and proper nutrition for the betterment of society. One of the many episodes I highly recommend you listen to is Episode 84: Treating Cancer, Autoimmune Diseases, and More with Diet for Over a Decade with Dr. Zsófia Clemens . Peak Human Peak Human takes an unbiased look at health & nutrition. With so much conflicting information available, filmmaker (Food Lies) and health coach Brian Sanders sifts through the dogma and provides a framework that unifies all nutrition and dietary habits that lead to optimum health. World renowned doctors, researchers, and journalists are interviewed to find out what is the true human dietary framework that we should all be eating to live well and free of chronic disease. It is based around principles of nutrient density and uses a combination of ancestral health and modern science. Of particular interest is episode #52 Dr. Zsofia Clemens on How to Cure Almost Any Modern Disease Without Medicine . Dr Ken Berry The Proper Human Diet podcast is presented by a family physician, Dr Ken Berry, who has over 20 years of clinical experience and has treated over 25,000 patients during his career. I find Dr Berry is amazing at getting straight to the point and is able to condense complex medical information and conditions into plain talk that regular individuals can use to stay healthy and happy. He focuses on numerous topics that all centre around how you can use your diet and your lifestyle to get the health you want. His episodes look at low carb/ketogenic/carnivore diets, intermittent fasting, thyroid health, hormone optimization, and much more. Dr. Ken Berry wants us all to be aware that much of what our doctors say may be a lie. Maybe not an outright malicious lie, but much of what "we" believe in medicine can be traced back to word-of-mouth teachings without a scientific basis. I love that Dr Berry is thorough with his research and sticks to facts, not fiction. Carnivore Conversations The Carnivore Conversations podcast really delves deep into how a keto/carnivore diet can help with improving a wide range of complex health issues. Dr Kiltz, MD who hosts the podcast is a board certified and practicing Reproductive Endocrinologist who discusses a whole host of health related subjects with various inspiring guest speakers in the keto and carnivore community. One great episode that you should definitely check out is episode #46 Dr. Zsófia Clemens who is a neurobiologist and clinical researcher from Hungary. Dr. Zsófia Clemens is the director of the International Center for Medical Nutritional Intervention (ICMNI) in Hungary. Dr. Clemens is at the forefront of using the paleolithic ketogenic diet (PKD) to treat chronic illnesses. The Red Pill Buddhas Phil Escott is an autoimmunity and metabolic disease consultant, personal trainer, novelist and drummer who has spent many years in the health and fitness industry, running a gym, writing for many magazines and training hundreds of clients successfully. Due to a crippling bout of inflammatory arthritis in 2010, which he reversed by natural means, further intense study revealed many “secrets” of healing normally hidden behind the misleading conventional medical and “health” dogma. Phil Escott seems to be a very down to earth guy, that has gone through his fair share of health struggles and now shares his knowledge in a very witty way, to help others attain their health and happiness goals. One episode that is well worth a listen is Episode #29 The Ultimate Autoimmunity interview with Dr. Zsófia Clemens.

Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the legs to cool slightly. Spider Body Instructions: While the legs are cooking, mix half of the beef and half of the pork together along with a third of the bone marrow and a little salt. Use your hands to form a meatball shape with the mixture. Place the meatball on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper (allow enough room around the meatball to add the legs). Mix the remaining half of the beef with half of the lamb and a third of the bone marrow and a little salt. Use your hands to form a meatball shape with the mixture.

Regime Type: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs Flat Bottom Oxtail And Sweetbread Muffins Introduction & Inspiration These oxtail and sweetbread muffins have a good texture to them and make great burger or sandwich buns, pie tops or indeed pizza bases. They're very versatile and are nice and nutrient dense. What could be better! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than one hour Serving Size 4 x Flat Bottom Oxtail And Sweetbread Muffins Main Ingredients: 100g Oxtail Leftovers 55g Lard 140g - Raw Veal Sweetbreads Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 160c. Soak the sweetbreads in salted cold water for 1-2 hours to remove any impurities. Change the water a few times during the soaking process. Remove the sweetbreads from the water, and rinse. Pat the sweetbreads dry. To clean the sweetbreads, remove any tough membrane using your fingers and a small sharp knife or indeed a pair of kitchen scissors. Place the oxtail leftovers and the lard into a pan on medium heat. Cook for a few minutes until all the fat has melted and the oxtail is warm. Pour the contents of the pan into a high speed blender and add the sweetbreads. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth. Grease 4 circular muffin holes in a silicone mould with lard or tallow and then add a sheet of greaseproof paper to the bottom of each hole (this will make it easier to remove each muffin after cooking). Divide the contents of the blender equally between the muffin holes with the help of a spatula. Use the spatula or a teaspoon to smooth off the top of each muffin. Place the silicone tray on a baking tray and place in the pre-heated oven for 35 minutes. Once, done, brown the top of the muffins for 3-5 minutes so that they have a light golden finish to them. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn! Allow the muffins to rest on the countertop to cool, before removing the muffins from the mould onto a serving plate. If you are not going to be eating the muffins straightaway, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Tips 'Browning' Some functions of ovens enable you to brown the surface of the food by activating the grill once cooking is complete. When using the 'Browning' setting on your oven, monitor closely the loaf so that it doesn't burn at the last minute. Ideally, purchase your fat and offal 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. Check out my Lard and Pork Crackling - Air Fryer and Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Flat Bottom Oxtail and Sweetbread Muffins into various dishes. You can use tallow or lard interchangeably.

Pour half of the mixture on to the silicone mat on a baking tray and spread out a thin layer of the mixture using a spatula to cover the silicone mat. Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 14 - 15 minutes (check often towards the end of the cooking time - the mixture should not be wet and stick to your finger when touched) Once cooked, remove the baking tray from the oven and place on the kitchen countertop. Allow to cool for several minutes. Follow the above steps to make the second Beef Sheet. While still warm, transfer the Beef Sheets on to some greaseproof paper to avoid them going cold and potentially sticking to the silicone mats (this shouldn't happen if you remembered to grease the mats). Your Beef Sheets are now ready to use. If you are not going to be using the Beef Sheets straightaway, then store them on the greaseproof paper in an airtight container in the fridge ideally. Tips Ideally, purchase your meat 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. Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this. Beef Sheets can be used in a number of ways, including for samosas, wraps, rolls etc. Use the Recipe Search functionality on my website to discover more. Video Not Available Yet....

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Christmas Tree Introduction & Inspiration One of my favourite pastry cutter shapes is the Christmas Tree, which provided the inspiration for this recipe! With only a handful of ingredients, this is super straightforward to make, and yet tastes very palatable thanks to the combination of flavours. I hope you'll enjoy it! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Very Cute Christmas Tree Ingredients for the base : 100g Oxtail - (Cooked & warm) 40g Roasted Bone Marrow (scooped out of the bone) Salt To taste Ingredients for the topping: 5g Sausage (optional - Christmas Lights Decoration) 40g Liver Parfait (to provide the coating for the tree) 10g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow - warm & melted (Christmas Star) 2g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes (Optional - Tree Base Decoration) 4g Honey (Optional) Recipe Instructions Instructions for the base: Mix the warm, cooked oxtail with the bone marrow in a pan on low heat, until the bone marrow has melted. On a lined baking tray pour the warm oxtail mixture into a large Christmas pastry cutter shape and press down the mixture so that it fills the tree shape evenly. Once the oxtail has cooled down a little, place the baking tray into the fridge so that the oxtail sets well into the desired shape. Instructions for the topping: Meanwhile, on a chopping board, chop the sausage into small cubes to represent lights on the Christmas Tree. Once the oxtail base has set fully in the fridge, you can then proceed to spread the Liver Parfait evenly over the oxtail Christmas tree base, so that it's fully coated. At this stage you can place the little cubes of sausage over the tree to represent the lights (leaving room at the top to place the Christmas Star). Place the baking tray back in the fridge for the Liver Parfait layer to set well on top of the oxtail layer. Instructions for the Christmas Star : In a bowl mix together the melted bone marrow with the honey until well combined. Pour this mixture into a small circular dish that has a star shape pastry cutter placed in the centre of it (ensure the dish is only slightly wider than the cutter so that the shape will have sufficient volume when set). Place the dish in the fridge to set properly. Once set, remove the Star gently from the pastry cutter shape and place it on top of the Christmas Tree. Tips Check out my Liver Parfait, Oxtail - Slow Cooker, Oven Roasted Bone Marrow and Crispy Parma Ham Flakes recipes for instructions on how to make these. If you do not have any sausage to hand, then try using cooked beef or cooked Parma Ham instead. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free.

Soak the sweetbreads in salted cold water for 1-2 hours to remove any impurities. Change the water a few times during the soaking process. Remove the sweetbreads from the water, and rinse. Pat the sweetbreads dry. To c lean the sweetbreads, remove any tough membrane using your fingers and a small sharp knife or indeed a pair of kitchen scissors. Place all the ingredients, except the sweetbreads, into a pan on low heat. Cook for a few minutes until all the fat has melted and the beef is warm. Pour the contents of the pan into a high speed blender and add the sweetbreads. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth. Grease 4 circular muffin holes in a silicone mould with lard or tallow and then add a sheet of greaseproof paper to the bottom of each hole (this will make it easier to remove each muffin after cooking). Divide the contents of the blender equally between the muffin holes with the help of a spatula. Use the spatula or a teaspoon to smooth off the top of each muffin. Place the silicone tray on a baking tray and place in the pre-heated oven for 35 minutes. Once, done, brown the top of the muffins for 3-5 minutes so that they have a light golden finish to them.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) BBQ Pulled Pork Introduction & Inspiration My husband recently got himself an all singing, all dancing, Pit Boss Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker. To christen the occasion what could be better than juicy BBQ Pulled pork. A perfect food for when guests and family visit, pulled pork is one of the most popular low and slow smoked foods. Cooking this beauty on the BBQ Smoker did not disappoint! The texture of the pork was incredibly succulent with its subtly smoky aromas, permeated through a well-seasoned crust. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 7 - 8 hours Serving Size 4 - 6 people Main Ingredients 1.4 kg Pork Shoulder (Boneless) Salt To Taste 2-3 Tbsp Honey (Optional) Recipe Instructions Set the BBQ Smoker temperature to 120c. Remove the butcher's twine from around the pork shoulder. Sprinkle salt (optional) on all sides of the pork roast and place the meat directly onto the indirect heat of your BBQ Smoker grill, fat or fattiest side down. On the other side of the Smoker, place a tray filled with water. This water will help keep a nice humid cooking environment inside the smoker, which helps with getting a succulent and juicy pork shoulder. Cook for 3 hours 30 minutes at this temperature. Place a couple of sheets of aluminium foil into a deep oven tray with excess sticking out of the tray. Remove the pork from the BBQ Smoker. At this point you can drizzle honey over the top and sides of your pork roast (if using). 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 smoker) and then carefully wrap the pork in aluminium foil in the deep sided metal tray. Place the tray on the BBQ grill for a further 4 - 4.5 hours of cooking (or until tender - start checking around 105C internal temperature) - if the pork is still hard leave it for longer. The worst thing you can do is take the pork off too soon - yes too soon. Remove the pork from the BBQ Smoker and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Unwrap the foil from around the pork, lift the pork onto a large wooden board and separate the meat using two forks or kitchen tongs. You can also use a knife and give the pork a rough chop (based on preference). Taste the pork to check on the seasoning and garnish with the warm cooking juices (simply reduce the juices down in a pan for a thicker sauce should you wish). This pulled pork tastes great as it is, and is also perfect served on PKD crispy bread or toasted flat bottom muffins. Enjoy your succulent and moist, juicy pulled pork! Bon Appetit! 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. 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. 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 ). Nothing could be more delicious than juicy BBQ pulled pork served on home-made PKD toasted 'bread' or flat bottom muffins with some delicious sauce made from the cooking juices. 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. When the internal temperature reaches 100- 105C (approximately 7-8 hours of total cooking time for this size of pork shoulder) it's a good idea to check if the pork is ready. The exterior should have a nice colour to it. 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 - yes too soon. Be sure to keep any flavourful juices and pour them over the meat, as you can make your own sauce with the cooking juices to accompany this succulent meat.

Tips Even if you do not have a Ninja Creami device it's still possible to make this ice cream. You will simply need to mix it 4 or so times as it freezes (initially every 30 or so minutes) and then when it's been in the freezer overnight, you will need to leave it out of the freezer for a good 35-40 minutes so that it's soft enough to give it a good mix before serving.

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.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) 'La Religeuse' Revisited Introduction & Inspiration My inspiration for this recipe was simply to create a PKD dessert 'of sorts' for Christmas! As another year draws to a close, I am very grateful for the PKD way of eating and so wanted to create a fitting creation modelled around 'La Religeuse' which is a popular dessert here in France. Recipe Overview Preparation Time 30 mins to 1 Hour Cooking Time Less than 30 minuutes Serving Size 1 x 'La Religeuse' Revisited Main Ingredients 120g Parma Ham 60g Liver Parfait 55g Greaves Pâté 8g Honey 6g Tallow (letter decoration) 5g Lard (optional decoration) Recipe Instructions Instructions for making the Twisted Parma Ham Nests: Pre heat the oven to 175c Grease a hole of one large muffin tin and one small muffin tin. Carefully twist each Parma ham slice at either end to form twisted Parma Ham. Then carefully place the twisted Parma Ham in a circle shape in each of the muffin holes. You should use approx. 100g to make the twisted Parma Ham Nest for the large muffin tin (placing one on top of the other in the hole) and 20g for the smaller muffin tin hole. Push the Parma Ham against the side of the muffin tin hole (The idea is that there should be a gap in the middle as we will be adding a filling later). Place the baking trays in the oven and bake for 18 minutes (or to your preferred level of doneness). Once cooked, remove the muffin trays from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes until the two Parma Ham twisted nests are cool enough to handle. Instructions for making the Base & Intermediate circles: In a small bowl mix the Greaves Pâté with the honey until well combined. Use 2 pastry cutter circles that are similar sizes to the large muffin tin hole and the small muffin tin hole. Get a small plate and cover with a little greaseproof paper. Place the circular cutters on top of the greaseproof paper and divide the Greaves Pâté mixture between the two circles. Fill both circles to roughly the same height. Smooth the tops of the circles and then place the plate in the freezer while the circles harden. Instructions for making the Liver Parfait: See my Liver Parfait recipe for instructions on how to make this. Instructions for making the letters: Simply melt the tallow in a small pan. In a flat dish, pour in the melted tallow so that there is a 5 mm high layer of tallow. Place the dish in the freezer so that the tallow hardens. Once the tallow is hard, use the PKD letter pastry cutters to carefully cut out the letters. Keep them in the freezer until you are ready to serve. Assembly Instructions: Remove the Greaves Pâté circles from the freezer and place the largest one in the centre of a serving plate. Next, centre the largest Parma Ham Nest on top of the circle. Now fill the large Twisted Parma Ham Nest with a ball of Liver Parfait approx. 40g (this may vary depending on your size of Nest) Next add the smaller Greaves Pâté circle on top of the ball, followed by the smaller Twisted Parma Ham Nest and finally another ball of Liver Parfait approx. 20g. Remove the letters from the freezer and carefully place the PKD letters on the base of your Religeuse. Feel free to use a few dots of chilled lard to further decorate your creation. Marvel at your creation. Your prayers have been answered! Enjoy! Tips Check out my Liver Parfait recipe for instructions on how to make this. Only remove the items from the freezer when you are ready to plate up your creation, so that they do not melt prematurely! Any honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small amounts for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Video Not Available Yet....
