Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Whipped Bone Marrow Introduction & Inspiration Bone Marrow is extremely nutritious, it contains all the nutrients and substances that the body uses to build, repair, and maintain our living bones and connective tissues. It's great as-is, but when whipped up into a creamy texture it's even more wonderful! Whipped Bone Marrow is particularly versatile for so many recipes and has a lovely look and feel to it as well. It can be piped as a topping or can be added to soups to give them a wonderful creaminess, and so much more!

Roast the marrow bones in the oven in a baking dish at 200c for 25 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and allow the bones to cool down a little. Scoop the marrow out of each bone and place it in a glass bowl. Let the marrow cool in the glass bowl on the kitchen counter until it's almost at room temperature. Use a hand whisk to whip the bone marrow to your desired consistency ( This may take up to 10 minutes, and can involve an initial whip up, followed by placing the bowl 5 minutes in the fridge to become a little firmer and then another good whip up, until soft peaks start to form). Once the Whipped Bone Marrow is a good consistency, it's ready to use straightaway in recipes or can be covered and placed in the fridge until you need it. Tips Check out my Braised Beef Cheek – Slow Cooker, Sausage Soup, Beef Tongue and Sausage Soup as well as Oxtail and Sausage Soup recipes for ways to use your Whipped Bone Marrow. Depending on the quantity of Whipped Bone Marrow required, the number of marrow bones to use will vary. Try adding a dash of honey for a hint of sweetness to the bone marrow or else a sprinkle of salt for use in more savoury recipes. Try and source good quality bones from pasture raised animals. Any leftover whipped bone marrow should be covered with clingfilm or placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge and ideally consumed within 2-3 days. 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, PKD (With Allowances) Blackberry Coulis Introduction & Inspiration This is a wonderful coulis to make as the colour is extremely vibrant and the flavour of the blackcurrant is delicious! A small amount goes a long way in fact and so it's ideal for drizzling over homemade ice cream or paired with certain meats like oxtail for example. Give it a try. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x 265ml Blackberry Coulis Main Ingredients: 270g Blackberries 85ml Bone Broth 20g Honey (optional) Recipe Instructions Wash the blackberries under running water. Combine the honey, bone broth and blackberries in a pan and cook on low-medium heat, with a lid, until the honey is all melted and the fruit is soft (10 - 15 minutes). Stir occasionally. Place the mixture into a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over an airtight glass container. Stir and push on the solids with the back of a spatula until all of the liquid has been extracted. This will take a few minutes as the mixture will be thick. Discard the seeds. Once the blackberry coulis has cooled, place the lid on the container and store in the fridge. Tips If your blackberries are nice and ripe then it may well not be necessary to add a lot of honey. Perform a taste test first. Any honey or fruit should be of organic quality, and are only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. To make Blackcurrant Juice, simply mix in some additional warm bone broth at the end, until you achieve the desired consistency.

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Beef Tripe Pancakes & Waffles Introduction & Inspiration My goal was to create an easy pancake or waffle batter recipe, without all the flour, sugar and milk nasties. Give these a try, I think you'll like them! With a touch of added honey, the batter is perfect for those moments of indulgence when you desire a slightly sweeter taste. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Pancakes (using 1/2 the batter) 2 x Waffles (using 1/2 the batter) Main Ingredients Batter : 3 Egg Yolks 105g Pressure Cooked Beef Tripe 75ml Bone Broth 45g Tallow or Lard 1/8 tsp Salt (optional for a savoury version) 5g Honey - (optional for a slightly sweeter version) Toppings: 2 x Pancakes: 30g Liver Parfait 30 g Pork Tenderloin Leftovers- cut into thin strips 2 tsp Apple Sauce (made using Organic apples) 10g Tallow - Grated 2 x Waffles: 50g Oxtail Leftovers 15g Tallow - Grated Recipe Instructions Batter Instructions: Add the Pressure Cooked Beef Tripe, bone broth and tallow to a pan, with a pinch of salt (optional). Place the pan on a low heat and mix often until all of the tallow has melted. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the contents into a high-speed blender and blend for 20-30 seconds until the mixture is nice and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool down slightly. Meanwhile, separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and place the egg yolks in a glass bowl. Use an electric hand whisk or a manual whisk and beat the eggs for a minute or so. Once the tripe mixture has cooled down slightly, slowly pour a very small amount of it into the egg mixture and whisk until well incorporated. Continue to add small amounts of the tripe mixture at a time into the eggs while whisking. Once all the mixture has been incorporated, split the batter into 2 separate bowls. Add a little honey to one bowl for a slightly sweeter pancake or waffle (Optional). For 2 x Pancakes: Heat up a small amount of tallow in a non stick frying pan (suitable for making pancakes) on medium heat. Once the tallow has melted, use a pastry brush to ensure the entire surface of the frying pan has been coated fully with the melted tallow. You can now simply pour in half the contents of 1 bowl, into the centre of the frying pan. Allow the pancake to cook for a minute or so, before flipping the pancake over with a spatula. Allow the pancake to cook for a further minute or so and then remove the pancake on to a serving plate. Repeat the process to make the second pancake using the remaining 1/2 of the batter in the bowl. Add the topping options described below or something else that you fancy. For 2 x Waffles: Grease the waffle plates with tallow or lard using a pastry brush. Switch on the waffle maker and allow it to heat up. Once the waffle maker is ready to use, pour half of the contents of the 'batter' in the 2nd bowl on to one plate of the waffle maker and the other half onto the other plate (if your machine only makes one waffle at a time, then just repeat the process). Close the waffle maker lid and check every minute or so, to ensure the waffle is cooked to your liking. Remove the waffles and place them on to a serving plate. Add the topping options described below or something else that you fancy. Toppings: I chose to top my pancakes with Liver Parfait which I spread over the bases. I then added a few strips of cooked Pork Tenderloin, a small dollop of homemade apple sauce and some grated tallow. For the waffles, I simply added some Slow Cooker Oxtail to the waffle bases and then grated some cold tallow over the top. Tips Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker, Liver Parfait and Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. Use a metal pastry circle placed in the centre of the pan to get a nice clean shape for your pancakes when you pour in the batter. You can lift this out after 20-30 seconds once the batter isn't as runny. 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 ). Experiment with different savoury or slightly sweeter topping combinations. Adding a tiny touch of honey to the batter can work really well for the sweeter topping ingredients. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. PKD Note : The apple sauce and honey should be of organic quality, and are only recommended for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Also, ideally purchase meat from pasture raised sources. Video Not Available Yet....

Regime Type: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs Liver Cordon Bleu Introduction & Inspiration This version of cordon bleu skips the traditional chicken and instead features nutrient-dense veal liver, Parma ham, and pâté, creating a flavourful filling for this pan-fried delight. Served with a delicious creamy sauce that enhances the subtle flavours of the veal liver, it's perfect for achieving the ideal PKD ratio. This dish is incredibly easy to make and wonderfully comforting during the winter months, providing your body with a hearty boost of energy! I hope you'll give this one a try. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Liver Cordon Bleu Main Ingredients: 130g Veal Liver 40g Parma Ham Slices 30g Brain and Liver Pâté* 5g Roast Beef Flour (Fine) 10g Tallow for frying** Creamy Sauce (80ml) 25g Veal Brains - Poached*** 55g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow 35ml Broth or Water (as required, based on desired thickness) Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Warm a 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 serving dish. Give the veal liver a quick rinse under running water, before patting it dry with a paper towel. Place the liver on a wooden chopping board and lay the Parma ham slices on the liver to cover the top. Spread a little brain and liver pâté over the top of the Parma ham slices. Pour the fine roast beef flour onto a plate. Dip the liver into the flour to form a thin layer on the underside of the liver. Dust off any excess flour. Starting at one end, carefully roll the liver up (trim the edges as required). Use wooden skewers/cocktail sticks to secure the liver cordon bleu in place. Put the roll in the fridge for 10 - 15 minutes. When you're ready to cook, add the tallow to a frying pan on medium heat. Once the tallow has melted and the pan is nice and hot, place the liver cordon bleu into the pan and remove the cocktail sticks. Cook the cordon bleu for 3 - 4 minutes on one side (or a little longer, depending on the thickness and how you like it), basting it with the tallow while it cooks. While the cordon bleu is cooking, add all the sauce ingredients into another pan and cook on low heat, stirring from time to time. The ingredients should be hot, but not boiling. Use a spatula to carefully turn the liver cordon bleu over to cook the other side. While the other side of the cordon bleu is cooking, pour the sauce ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a serving jug. Once the liver has finished cooking, transfer the liver cordon bleu onto the warm serving dish and pour any cooking juices over it. Pour the creamy sauce around the cordon bleu and drizzle a little sauce over the top. Bon Appetit! Tips *Use whatever pâté or spread you happen to have available that you feel will pair well with the liver. **You can certainly substitute tallow with lard for frying. ***Adding poached brains will help generate a nice, creamy sauce mixture once blended. It's certainly optional and you could substitute it with an egg yolk. A combination of broth and bone marrow alone will be delicious, just slightly less creamy. 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.

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

Regime Type: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs Rich Bone Marrow Jelly Glaze Introduction & Inspiration A little of this glaze goes a long way! It can be used both as a slightly sweet or savoury glaze option to decorate buns, cakes, crepes, you name it really! It provides a lovely sheen to your culinary delights and offers an intense flavour thanks to the sauce reduction. Remember to adjust the glaze consistency based on your preference — whether you want it thick like icing or thin and pourable. Happy glazing! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: Extra time will be required for the Jelly Glaze to fully set in the fridge) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 135ml Rich Bone Marrow Jelly Glaze Main Ingredients: 20ml Bone Marrow Liquid (warm) 250ml Lamb Cooking Juices (reduce down to 90ml)* 20ml Honey (Optional) Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pour the lamb cooking juices into a pan on medium-high heat. As the temperature increases, the cooking juices will start to reduce down over several minutes. Stir from time to time until you end up with just over 1/3 of the cooking juices remaining. Remove the pan from the heat. Add in the bone marrow liquid and honey (if using) and stir all the ingredients for a few minutes to combine well together. As the mixture cools, it will be easier to fully blend all the ingredients. Pour the mixture into a little jug with the help of a spatula. At this point you can use the rich bone marrow jelly glaze to decorate your culinary delights before popping them in the fridge for the jelly glaze to fully set. Tips *Use cooking juices that are flavourful such as lamb, oxtail, beef cheek etc. Each one with give a slightly different flavour profile. I do love oxtail with a touch of honey as it's reminiscent to me of treacle toffee. 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 ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances.

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

Regime Type: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs Brain Mayonnaise Introduction & Inspiration Discover the creamy delight of a new mayonnaise variation made with brain. Not only does it taste exquisite, but it’s also an excellent alternative for those who can’t tolerate eggs. Packed with nutrients, this simple recipe is a breeze to whip up. As the mayonnaise cools and chills in the fridge, it thickens slightly, achieving the perfect consistency. Use it as a delightful substitute for Philadelphia spread too! For a touch of extra flair, consider adding a touch more water or bone broth to create a slightly runny mayo. The best part? You’re in control! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 100ml Brain Mayonnaise Main Ingredients: 40g Lard 50g Pig Brains - Poached 25ml Water or Bone Broth Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Prepare the pig brains - poached as per the recipe instructions. Once poached, add the brains to a pan, together with the fat and the water or bone broth and salt. Cook on a low heat for a few minutes until all the fat has melted. Pour the pan juices into a high speed blender and blend until nice and smooth. Pour the contents into an airtight glass container. Once the brain mayonnaise is cool, add the lid and place the pot in the fridge. When you're ready to use the mayonnaise, simply give it a good mix up with a spoon until you achieve the desired consistency. Enjoy! Tips You can also use oven roasted bone marrow if desired. The mayonnaise will be a slightly different colour and set a little harder than the lard in the fridge, but it will still be possible to mix it up into a nice consistency again. Bone Broth can also be used as opposed to water. You can also adjust the amount of liquid, should you wish the mayonnaise to be slightly thicker or runny, depending on preference. The brain mayonnaise is a great way of adding fat to your dishes. For every 10ml of brain mayonnaise used, accompany this with approx.10g of meat for a good PKD ratio. Try 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 brain mayonnaise into various dishes. It's fine to substitute pig brains with veal brains or lamb brains. Video

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Christmas Snowman Introduction & Inspiration When I think of Christmas, I immediately think of the fun times spent building a Snowman and having snowball battles in the garden with family and friends! This Snowman was a pleasure to build and to devour! It is made with a minimum of ingredients that are all very nutrient dense. Enjoy! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time 15 minutes Cooking Time 25 minutes Serving Size 1 x Very Cute Snowman Main Ingredients: 150g Minced Meat 50g Veal or Beef Liver (chopped into small pieces) 15ml Bone Broth 70g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow (scooped out of the bones) 6g Honey - (Optional) 1 tsp Tallow or Lard for cooking 5g Cooked Parma Ham (Decoration - Optional) 3g Raspberry Jelly (Decoration - Optional) 1 x Blueberry (Decoration - Optional) Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 180c. Chop the liver into small pieces. On a low heat, cook the liver in a little tallow or lard. Allow to cool. Divide the minced meat into 1 ball of 100g and another ball of 50g Divide the liver so that 35g fits inside the 100g ball and 15g fits inside the 50g ball of minced meat. Place the balls on a lined baking tray and cook in a preheated 180c oven for 15-18 minutes. Once the balls have finished cooking, remove the baking tray from the oven and allow to cool. Pour 3/4 of the bone broth mixture slowly over the largest meatball and 1/4 of the bone broth over the remaining meatball, before placing in the fridge. Meanwhile in a pan, melt the roasted bone marrow (which has been scooped out of the bones) with the honey (if using) on low. Stir often. Once the bone marrow has melted as much as possible, use a sieve to strain the contents of the pan into a glass jug. Assembly: The initial step will be to coat the meatballs in the bone marrow mixture. To do this you can either place the meatballs directly to the mixture and use a spoon to coat the balls, or you can use a cocktail stick or wooden skewer through the meat, in order to coat the balls. Once the balls have a good coating of the mixture, place them on a sheet of greaseproof paper and place back in the fridge for the coating to harden. Repeat this process, until both meatballs have a good layer of bone marrow on the outside. Once the meatball coating has hardened then you can place the smaller sized meatball (aka the head of the Snowman) on top of the larger meatball (aka the Snowman's body), and transfer to your preferred serving plate. You can now get creative with the Parma Ham to make a hat and hands for your snowman. You can also use a tiny amount of raspberry jelly for the buttons and blueberry for the eyes. If you have any remaining bone marrow, you can also pour around the base of the snowman to represent the snow. Tips Check out my Bone Broth (Pressure Cooker) recipe for instructions on how to make this. Adding a little honey to the bone marrow, while entirely optional, does make the coating slightly less bland. 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. You can further jazz your Snowman up using the different decoration options mentioned in the ingredients section. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Any ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Bone Marrow Liquid and Crumbs Introduction & Inspiration Once you have oven roasted your bone marrows, you can make bone marrow liquid in addition to bone marrow crumbs. I tend to do this when I am looking to have my bone marrow liquid nice and clear with no little bits in (to make 'chocolate' and ice cream for example). By performing this extra step, you will be able to render off a little extra fat from the bone marrow before sieving it and removing any remaining little bits with a cheesecloth. The result is a delightful liquid that is ready to be used in numerous different ways in recipes. It's the equivalent of liquid gold! What will become of the bone marrow crumbs you ask? I find these are great to add into dressings (like the Creamy Crumble Dressing) and also when making little buns. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 150ml Bone Marrow Liquid 37g Bone Marrow Crumbs Main Ingredients: 187g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow Recipe Instructions Make the oven roasted bone marrow as per the recipe instructions. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool a few minutes. With a pair of oven gloves, hold the bones and scoop the bone marrow out of each bone over a medium sized pan. (To Note: Place all the empty bones on a plate and once cool, place the bones in a freezer safe container, to make bone broth with later). Place the pan on low-medium heat and cook for approx. 5 minutes to render a little more fat from the bone marrow. Stir regularly. Place a fine meshed sieve over a glass container. Carefully pour the bone marrow from the pan into the sieve. The liquid fat will drain through the sieve into the container. What remains in the sieve are the bone marrow crumbs. Use a spatula to press down on the bone marrow crumbs to extract any remaining liquid fat from the bone marrow. Once there is no further fat falling into the glass container, use the spatula to place the bone marrow crumbs that remain in the sieve, into an airtight glass container. Repeat this process until all the bone marrow in the pan has been poured into the sieve. Allow the bone marrow crumbs to cool down in the container, before placing the lid on the container and storing it in the fridge. To Note: The bone marrow liquid in the glass container can be poured through a cheesecloth into an airtight glass container. This will remove any finer bits still present in the bone marrow liquid that the sieve didn't catch. Allow the liquid to cool down, before placing the lid on the container and storing it in the fridge. Tips Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and bones from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free.
