Served either at room temperature or slightly chilled, this variation departs from the traditional recipe by omitting egg yolk. For those that cannot consume eggs right now, I’ve crafted a version using egg-free mayonnaise, which imparts a creamy finish to the wonderfully tender meat. The result? A taste that’s simply wonderful—perfect for savouring during the hot summer months!

Cut the beef fillet into thin strips, and then cut the strips into small cubes. Place the beef cubes into a bowl and reserve in the fridge. Remove the bowl from the freezer and add the beef. Next add some salt. Use a spatula to give the ingredients a good mix up. Drain the soaked bone marrow, pat dry, then push the marrow out of the centre of the bone. Slice this into small cubes. Add the cubes to the bowl and stir in with the beef. Now, add the creamy sauce dip to the bowl and give the mixture a good stir. Perform a quick taste test to see if any additional seasoning is required. Place a pastry circle in the centre of a serving plate. Around the circle you can scatter a few fresh parsley leaves and radish quarters for decoration (optional). Add the beef tartare mixture to the pastry circle and press down to level the mixture out. Carefully remove the pastry circle from around the beef and place a parsley leaf on top for decoration. Your beef tartare - PKD Style is ready to serve!

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Brains - Poached Introduction & Inspiration Brains are a very nutrient dense ingredient, however they may be off-putting initially and so a key way to introduce them into your diet is by disguising them. Using them in various recipes including dressings, creamy dessert sauces, mayonnaises and even ice cream, can be a great way to overcome the initial reticence associated with using them. Poaching the brains in water allows them to retain their creamy texture and will make cooking or frying them a little easier as they will become a little firmer as well. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Up to 30 Minutes* Serving Size 166g Lamb Brains - Poached Main Ingredients: 170g Lamb Brains Salt Recipe Instructions Gently rinse the brains under running water to remove any bone fragments and remove as much of the outer membrane as you can. Soak the brains for 30 minutes in water and some salt to get the blood out. Now drain off the water and fill with clean water and salt and allow to soak a further 30 minutes. The water should run clear. This helps the brains keep a light colour. Drain off the water and place the brains in a pan of fresh water and bring the water to a boil, before turning down to a simmer (not boiling). Cook for 15 minutes until the brains have firmed up. Allow the brains to cool in the liquid. Check for membranes which will look like a cloudy veil, and if there are any, try and peel them off. If you are going to use the brains straightaway then you can pat them dry with a paper towel. Otherwise, reserve the cooking liquid as you may use this to store brains if needed (up to two days). Your poached brains are now ready! Tips Brains are extremely perishable, so purchase them as fresh as possible and aim to use them within 24 hours. 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. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Brains - Poached into various dishes. After cooking, the brains end up tasting reminiscent of a firm ricotta, or another mild cheese. They blend nicely into the background and make a nutrient dense breakfast for the PKD and offal enthusiast. Brains are a very nutrient dense ingredient, however they may be off-putting initially and so a key way to introduce them into your diet is by disguising them. Using them in a creamy dessert sauce can be a great way to overcome the initial reticence associated with using them. Poaching the brains in water allows them to retain their creamy texture and will make cooking or frying them a little easier as they will become a little firmer. *You can poach various type of brains using the exact same method. The only thing to change slightly is the cooking time. Poach pig or calf brains for 20 minutes and beef brains for 30 minutes. Video Not Available Yet....

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Beef and Egg Waffles Introduction & Inspiration These beef and egg waffles are scrumptious, offering a delightful crunch thanks to the coarse grind of the roast beef flour. Versatile in nature, they can be tailored to suit both slightly sweet and savoury palates. I hope you'll enjoy them! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Beef and Egg Waffles Main Ingredients: 75g Tallow 55ml Egg Yolks 65g Roast Beef 'Flour' - Coarse Flakes Lard or Tallow - for greasing Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 180c. Melt the tallow in a medium pan on low heat. Once the fat is fully melted, remove from the heat. Meanwhile place the egg yolks in a glass bowl. Pour the melted fat a little at a time into the egg yolks and fully incorporate using a spatula. Once you have incorporated all the fat, slowly add small amounts of the roast beef 'flour'. Use a spatula to coat all the 'flour' into the egg and fat mixture. Continue to mix until all the 'flour' has been incorporated. Grease the silicone waffle mould and place it in a baking tray. Divide the mixture equally between the two waffle moulds. Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 14 minutes. Remove the beef and egg waffles from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before adding your choice of toppings (Any leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge). Tips These waffles make for a very nutrient dense snack and can also be a great choice when you're out hiking or travelling. If you fancy a change from the waffle look, can also use the mixture to make mini galettes (check out the crunchy beef galettes or beef and liver versions for an idea on how they will look). The mixture will make 6 galettes. Follow the same steps as above. Just choose a different mould tray. Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and 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. 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 ).

    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. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Pulled Pork into various dishes. Any ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances.

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. Check out my Whipped Bone Marrow recipe for instructions on how to make this. Video

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Halloween Jellies Introduction & Inspiration Halloween jellies are lots of fun to prepare, and make a great addition to hot dishes like soups or stews. They can make your meals decidedly spooky, while all the while adding a tremendous depth of flavour to your culinary delights! They are also frighteningly easy to prepare, so bring your wobbly Halloween Jellies to the party! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes ( To Note: The Halloween Jellies will need to be placed in the fridge, for several hours or ideally overnight). Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 6 x Halloween Jellies Main Ingredients: 300ml Oxtail Cooking Juices Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Make the oxtail cooking juices as per the recipe instructions. Allow the juices to set in the fridge to form a layer of cooking juice underneath and a layer of oxtail fat on top. *Remove most of the fat from the top of the cooking juices, so that your Halloween jellies will have a tiny layer of fat to contrast the darker jelly colour when fully set. Place the cooking juices and a small amount of oxtail fat into a pan on low heat with some salt and melt into a liquid. Divide the liquid evenly between the Halloween Jelly moulds. Place tray in the fridge until the Halloween Jellies have fully set. When you are ready to serve them, briefly place them in the freezer (10 minutes or so. This will make them nice and firm, so that you can remove the jellies easily from their moulds without them breaking if you have more intricate Halloween mould patterns). Happy Halloween! 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. For slightly sweet Halloween Jellies, add a small amount of honey to the pan on low heat and stir until all the honey has melted in the cooking juices. Check out my Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make the oxtail cooking juices. If you do not have any oxtail cooking juices, substitute with a very gelatinous bone broth or with beef cheek cooking juices. It just needs to be thick enough to set once refrigerated.

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!

Once done, brown the buns for a couple of minutes. Keep an eye on the buns towards the end of the cooking to ensure they do not burn! Allow the buns to cool once out of the oven before serving. You can also allow them to cool fully, before placing them in an airtight container in the fridge to have cold. Tips Ideally, purchase your offal and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. *These buns can simply be more savoury in nature by omitting the honey. Add a little extra touch of salt too for the savoury version. 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 ).
