Wash 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 kidneys into small cubes (just reserve 4 - 8 slices for the decoration). Roughly chop the beef cheek leftovers into smaller bits (if necessary). Heat the beef cheek fat in a pan on medium heat. Add the beef cheek leftovers and cook for a few minutes, using a spatula to break up the meat. Stir in the kidney cubes, beef cheek cooking juices (or bone broth) and salt. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes longer, until the kidney begins to soften. Pour the pan contents into a lined and well-greased springform pan. Use a spoon or a spatula to press the ingredients down until level. Blend the veal liver in a high speed blender until smooth. Pour the contents of the blender into a large glass bowl. Use an electric hand whisk (or regular whisk) and beat the liver mixture vigorously to incorporate as much air as you can. Once you have beaten the liver, add in the Alfredo Style Sauce and continue to use the electric hand whisk, to whisk the mixture for another minute or so. Pour the mixture over the beef and kidney. Lay the lard strips on top of the ingredients in a crisscross pattern. Add the remaining kidney slices to the top, for decoration. Place the springform pan on a baking tray and pop it in the centre of a pre heated oven. Cook for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven. Serving Hot Allow the flan to cool down slightly before dishing out into equal servings. Heat up the beef cheek sauce and drizzle a little over the top of each slice. Serving Cold* Once the beef cheek and liver flan has finished cooking and is cool, pour over the beef cheek sauce. Cover and place the flan in the fridge until the sauce sets into a jelly like consistency. (You'll need to make sure you use a nice gelatinous beef or oxtail broth to ensure it sets well) Enjoy! Tips Any cooking juices that have been released into the springform pan base during cooking can simply be poured off and added to the beef cheek sauce when serving the flan hot. 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 Alfredo Style Sauce, Beef Cheek Sauce and Braised Beef Cheek - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. This Beef Cheek & Liver Flan is delicious served hot or cold! If you do not have any been cheek to use, then you can substitute with oxtail, beef shank, lamb leftovers etc. They all taste delicious!

Grease 6 circular muffin holes in a silicone mould with lard or tallow and then add a circle 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 6 muffin holes with the help of a spatula. Use the spatula or spoon 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. Remove the tray from the oven, use a pastry brush to brush the top of each muffin with a little lard or tallow (optional). Allow the muffins to rest on the countertop to cool a little, before removing the muffins onto a serving tray. If you are not going to be eating the muffins straightaway, store them in an airtight container in the fridge once they're fully cool. Tips If you happen to have any pulled pork cooking juices or sauce handy, then use this as opposed to the bone broth to provide even more flavour to the muffins. The colour of the muffins will be slightly darker in colour. 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. 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) Bone Marrow Baskets Introduction & Inspiration Bone Marrow Baskets are a fun and novel way to serve your meal, and become lovely and creamy when filled with warm meat dishes. They are nice to make when you are aiming for a slightly fancier meal for your friends or family. They are still quick and easy to whip up, yet offer an extra touch of class. They can also be made ahead of time. Try making them, and see for yourself how your whole meal is transformed. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Bone Marrow Baskets (Diameter 7cm x 4cm Deep) Main Ingredients: 70g Whipped Bone Marrow Recipe Instructions Cover two small ramekin tins with clingfilm, and push the clingfilm inside the ramekin tins. Turn the ramekin upside down and using a spatula, spread half of the whipped bone marrow evenly to cover all of the base and sides of the ramekin, so that when the bone marrow sets it will form a bowl shape. Proceed to coat the second ramekin in the same way. Place the ramekins on a small tray and put them in the freezer until the bone marrow is set hard. Remove the tray from the freezer. With one hand carefully hold the bone marrow basket, and with the other, slowly slide the ramekin tin from the basket. Now carefully remove all the clingfilm from the basket. Repeat, for the second basket. Place the Bone Marrow Baskets in an airtight container in the freezer until you're ready to use them. Tips For PKD ratio purposes, simply weigh the bone marrow baskets and depending on your other ingredients, adjust your ratios accordingly. So for example if using 200g uncooked lean minced meat and the bone marrow basket is only 50g, I would add 20g of extra fat in the form of a few strips of pork back fat etc. Ideally, purchase your bones from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free.

X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less Than 30 Minutes Serving Size 1 x Bowl of Creamy Liver and Brain Soup Main Ingredients: 90g Veal Liver 90g Pig Brains - Poached 40g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow 130ml Bone Broth Salt To Taste Garnish (Optional) 10g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes or Beef Crackling Sprig of Parsley Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Warm a serving bowl 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 serving bowl. Add the bone broth and oven roasted bone marrow to a pan on medium heat. Once the ingredients are both warm, remove the pan from the heat and add the mixture to a high speed blender. Add the liver, salt and brains to the blender and blend all the ingredients together until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium sized pan through a sieve (to catch any silvery membrane bits from the liver) and cook on low-medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Increase the heat slightly and cook for one more minute until nice and hot. Continue to stir as the soup will begin to congeal otherwise. Once the liver and brain soup is cooked, pour the pan contents back into the blender and re-blend the soup briefly to ensure a super smooth texture for serving. Pour the soup into the warmed bowl and sprinkle the soup with a little crispy Parma Ham Flakes (or beef crackling) and top with a sprig of Parsley (optional).

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Bacon Mayonnaise Introduction & Inspiration This bacon mayonnaise is super delicious with a smoky flavour from using the Smoked Mangalica Kolozsvari bacon. It has a slight sweetness if you add a tiny amount of honey, but more than anything it's extremely moreish. It tastes great on pizza bases, on top of meat or with scrambled egg yolks. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 95g Pot Bacon Mayonnaise Main Ingredients: 135ml Bacon Fat 2 eggs (yolks) Salt To Taste 5g Honey (Optional) Recipe Instructions Make the Bacon Fat as per the instructions and allow the bacon fat to cool on the countertop, while still remaining a liquid (stir from time to time to check it is not getting hard). Reserve. Place the egg yolks in a tall glass jar with a reasonable sized opening (if you plan on using an immersion blender), or a large bowl (if you are just going to whisk the mixture by hand). Add a touch of salt to the egg yolks and then use an immersion blender or whisk to give the egg yolks a good mix. Add the bacon fat drop by drop for the first few minutes. Gradually pour tiny amounts of the bacon fat into the container and continue blending until the mixture starts to thicken. As the mixture begins to thicken and more of the bacon fat has been added, you can start to add the fat more quickly while still a little runny since the bacon fat will harden further in the fridge. At this point you can add in the honey (optional) or any other extras should you wish (like Parma Ham or dill) and combine well. Pour the bacon mayonnaise into a lidded glass jar and place in the fridge. Use within 3-4 days (Trust me, this won't be a problem as it's delicious and can be used for numerous recipes). Tips Check out my Bacon and Bacon Fat - Smoked recipe for instructions on how to make the Bacon Fat. If your mayonnaise does happen to turn on you, it is possible to rescue it by starting again in a clean bowl, and beating the curdled sauce, spoonful by spoonful, into the new mixture. I have also found that if you transfer the mixture into another glass bowl and use a regular whisk, that it can be salvaged as well. 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 ). Remember that the bacon fat will harden when you place the mixture in the fridge, so it's best to make the mayonnaise slightly on the runny side so that it is a good consistency for spreading. You can use eggs that are 'soft' boiled for your mayonnaise should you prefer: Soft Boiled Egg Yolks Fill a small pan to 3/4 full with water. Place the pan on a medium-high heat until the water is boiling. Once the water is boiling, lower in 2 eggs and boil for 4-5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and place in the sink, running cold water over the eggs in the pan. Once the eggs are cool enough to hold carefully crack the eggs and remove the yolk delicately from the egg. Any honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Video Not Available Yet....

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Liver Parfait Introduction & Inspiration This veal Liver Parfait, is the Rolls Royce of pâtés ! The texture was reminiscent of a chocolate mousse as it was so light and fluffy! It's definitely worth a few extra steps to make this version, compared to the traditional liver pâté options. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 30 minutes to 1 hour Serving Size 1 Large Terrine (approx, 415ml) Main Ingredients: 300g Veal Liver 100ml Bone Broth 110g Lard - for marinating 60g Tallow - to seal the terrine dish (if required - see Tips below) Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Day Prior to Making the Recipe: Remove the transparent membrane surrounding the liver. Soak the veal livers in a little bit of water for 1 to 2 hours in a glass bowl - enough to cover to remove a little of the bitterness of them. Then drain the water off. Next, pat the liver dry with a paper towel and proceed to marinate the liver in the melted lard. This will help the livers become extra soft and juicy. Day of Recipe Creation: Pre Heat the oven to 110c (Convection). Remove the liver that has been marinating in lard since the previous day from the fridge. In a liquidiser, pour in the liver and all the lard, along with the bone broth. Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the ingredients are fully combined. Now you need to taste the mixture and determine if any seasoning needs to be added. Add some salt if required. Mix thoroughly again. Next get a large jug and using a sieve that has a fine mesh, pour the contents from the blender into the sieve, so that the contents that goes into the jug is very smooth. Slowly pour the contents of the jug into your dish or pot(s) of choice and then place this in a deep baking tray that has hot water filled up to half way up the side of the dish/pot(s) (a Bain Marie - Hot Water Bath). Place the baking tray in the oven for 25-40 minutes. Cook to your liking (if the centre wobbles slightly, but it's set, this is probably medium rare and still quite pink. If you prefer more well done then cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes) Remove the baking tray from the oven and let it cool down for a short while. Then pour the melted tallow over the top of the Liver Parfait(s). This will create a good seal and keep well in the fridge for a good week. Tips Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe if you're new to making this. If you will be consuming your Liver Parfait in the coming days, it's not necessary to seal the terrine dish with tallow. The Liver Parfait can be served on top of meatloaf for example or 'bread' (warmed up in the oven with a little tallow & seasoning on top for a few minutes once the Liver Parfait is ready to serve). Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Video Not Available Yet....

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Crispy Wafers Introduction & Inspiration Crispy Wafers are just a fun little thing you can make with Pork Jelly Cubes and Bone Broth. 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. The texture is also super fine like Filo Pastry. This plain version is wonderfully neutral. If you prefer a slight hint of flavour check out some of my other versions. They are also super quick to make. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Crispy Wafers Main Ingredients: 50g Pork Jelly Cubes 35ml Bone Broth Salt to Taste Recipe Instructions In a pan on low heat melt the pork jelly with the bone broth and a little salt (if using) and stir the mixture until everything is well combined. Just before the 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 a tiny bit all away around 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 pork jelly mixture has been used up. Your Crispy Wafers are now ready to use! Tips If you remove the Crispy Wafer quickly from the hot crepe pan and place it in a wire rack in a U shape, the wrap 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 Pork Jelly and Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. Bear in mind that the protein content of gelatine needs to be taken into account when you add fat for PKD purposes. (So for this recipe consider adding 16g fat). Video

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Oven Roasted Bone Marrow Introduction & Inspiration Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue found inside a bone which is loaded with nutrients and substances that the body uses to build, repair, and maintain our living bones and connective tissues. Its stem cells produce red and white blood cells and so it helps your immune system to work properly. Bone marrow is an essential part of the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD). So don't be intimidated by bone marrow. Roasted bone marrow can be found on the menu in many fine dining restaurants, especially here in France. It's also quite affordable and easy to make at home. Bone Marrow is also delicious raw as well! I hope you too, will start to appreciate the many benefits of bone marrow. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Up to 30 minutes Serving Size 6 x Oven Roasted Marrow Bones (Makes 240g oven roasted bone marrow) Main Ingredients: 6 x Beef Marrow Bones Salt Recipe Instructions Pre Heat your oven to 200c. Add the marrow bones to an ovenproof dish and season with salt on top of the marrow bones and underneath as well, to avoid them rendering quite as much fat during the cooking process. Put the dish in the oven on top of a baking tray. Cooking Suggestions *Bone Marrow from the fridge Cook for 20 - 25 minutes *Bone Marrow from the freezer Cook for 25-30 minutes *To Note : Adjust these cooking times depending on how you like your bone marrow. For an interior that is slightly more pink, allow slightly less time. For a more pale marrow, continue cooking for a bit longer. After 20 minutes, begin to check your bone marrow by removing the tray from the oven and using a spoon to take a look at the marrow colour. Once the bone marrow is a little springy to touch, it should be ready. Once your bone marrow is ready, remove the baking tray from the oven and let it cool down. From here you can do one of a number of things with your oven roasted bone marrow. A few ideas would be: Use the oven roasted bone marrow as the fat accompaniment to your steak or other meat dish and simply serve the bone marrow with a spoon! Scoop the bone marrow out of the bones into a glass bowl. Once cool, you can use an electric hand whisk to make Whipped Bone Marrow. Scoop the bone marrow out of the bone into a pan. Cook a little more on low heat, to render some additional bone marrow fat. You can then make Bone Marrow Liquid and Crumbs. Scoop the bone marrow out into a glass bowl, and either use straightaway in many recipes or allow the bone marrow to cool down fully before covering and placing in the fridge. Aim to use the bone marrow within 2-3 days. Tips If you bought some nice marrow bones but you are not ready to use them in the next few days, then simply freeze the bones, and cook them from frozen. (Just allow a little longer for the cooking time if they are frozen). Should you wish, you can put the marrow bones in salted water and keep it in the fridge to remove any blood traces. You’ll notice how clean they become. The marrow will be done when it is a nice golden-brown colour and springy to touch. You’re looking for the marrow to slightly pull away from the bone – if it’s too hard, they haven’t been cooked for long enough. You can also cook your bones at lower temperatures in the oven and allow a little more time. The bone marrow is very forgiving, so find what works best for you. You can also add your marrow bones to your slow cooker and slow cook them with beef cheek or oxtail for example. Ideally, purchase your bones 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. If you're not familiar with how much marrow certain size bones contain in terms of the fat content, push out the fat from the inside of a marrow bone from the fridge and weigh it so that you have an idea and then pop it back into the bone again. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Oven Roasted Bone Marrow into various dishes. Save your bones so that you can make some delicious bone broth with them. I typically just allow the bones to cool fully and then place them in the freezer. I have found that when I cook my marrow bones in my LG microwave and convection oven, there is slightly less fat rendered during the cooking process than in my regular oven. Check out my Bone Marrow Liquid and Crumbs and Whipped Bone Marrow recipes for instructions on how to make these. Video
