    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: 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! I hope you will give this recipe a try and discover for yourself the many wonders of Whipped Bone Marrow. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 70g Whipped Bone Marrow Main Ingredients: 70g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 200c. 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....

Pour the egg yolk sauce into the pan and slowly pour in a little of the mixture from the blender into the egg yolk. Pour a little at a time and mix in well using a spatula, before proceeding to add some more of the blender mixture. Once all the ingredients have been incorporated in the pan, allow the mixture to cool down for 5 or so minutes before pouring the ice cream mixture into a Ninja Creami pot.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Joint - Oven Roasted Introduction & Inspiration Roasting a joint of beef in the oven is a delightful culinary adventure. Within moments, you’ll be greeted with succulent, moist beef infused with flavorful cooking juices. This dish transforms into a sumptuous Sunday Roast, perfect for those who still cherish this tradition. Whether you prefer your roast beef medium rare or well done, both options promise juicy, satisfying bites. And don’t forget the delightful twist of smoked bacon—it’s a true treat! Bon appétit! Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than one hour Serving Size 1 x 663g Beef Joint - Oven 68ml Cooking Juices 64g Eskimo Mangalica Smoked Kolozsvari Bacon Fat 127g Eskimo Mangalica Smoked Kolozsvari Bacon Main Ingredients: 762g Joint of Beef (with pork fat round it and butcher's twine removed) 200g Eskimo Mangalica Smoked Kolozsvari Bacon 15ml Lard or Bone Marrow - melted Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pre-heat the oven to 180c - Convection. Remove the joint of beef from the fridge and place it in a roasting tin (ideally 30 minutes before cooking). Cover the beef with the melted lard or bone marrow and sprinkle a little salt all over the beef. Insert a digital probe into the beef, positioning the tip right in the centre. This will allow you to monitor the internal temperature of the beef without opening the oven. Cut the smoked bacon into slices on a wooden chopping board (you may need to cut the slices in half). Lay the slices over the top of the joint of beef so that the meat is completed covered. Add the roasting tin to the oven. Cook until the internal temperature is how you like it. I set the digital probe to 57c (for medium) or 60c (for medium - well done) since as the meat rests the heat will rise and continue to cook for a few minutes so you have to stop the cooking process prior to your desired doneness. Once cooked, transfer the beef onto a wooden chopping board and allow the meat to rest for 15-20 minutes. Pour all the juices from the roasting tin into a jar (if not serving straightaway) or else pour the juices into a pan and bring it to a boil over a low-medium heat. Cook, until the juices have reduced to the desired consistency for the sauce reduction. Test the sauce and add any additional seasoning as required. To serve, slice the meat. Place the beef onto serving plates (or a serving platter) and drizzle over some of the reduced down cooking juices. To ensure a good PKD meat : fat ratio, add some whipped tallow or other PKD fat of your choice. Enjoy! Tips For a delicious sauce, once you have reduced down the cooking juices add some warm oven roasted bone marrow to the pan to have a good PKD ratio. Once nice and hot, use a stick blender to froth up the mixture and turn it into a nice frothy, delicious sauce. Ideally use a snug fit roasting tin (i.e. that is only slightly bigger than the joint of beef so that everything stays juicy). Try and purchase all your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Remove the roast from the heat when it's 5c less than your desired temperature. If you do not have any lard or bone marrow handy, then you can also use tallow. Kolozsvari is a type of traditional smoked bacon from the Cluj-napoca region of Romania. It can be eaten raw as for this recipe, or it can be cooked in the pan and crisps up nicely. You can order this, and many other wonderful products, from Eskimo Kitchen in Hungary Eskimokitchen.eu Their products are all free from harmful additives and preservatives and they have a wonderful selection of produce. Why not use any leftover roast beef to make some delicious Roast Beef & Smoked Bacon Sandwiches. 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.

They hold their shape well, and yet have a nice soft interior. They have a great PKD ratio as well. Who knew that oxtail could marry so nicely with sour cherries! They are ideal as a healthy light meal when you're on the go, especially while out hiking or on a day trip. I hope you'll give them a try. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 4 x Oxtail Munchies (Mould Tray 5cm diameter, 2cm deep) Main Ingredients: 95g Oxtail Leftovers 40g Beef Crackling 10g Dried Sour Cherries - finely chopped Lard (for greasing) 10g Honey (optional) Decoration (Optional): 5g Dried Sour Cherries 4 x Mini Lard Circles Sprig of Mint Recipe Instructions In a pan on low heat, add the oxtail leftovers and warm them up a little. Once the oxtail is warm, place it in a mini blender, together with the warm beef crackling and the sour cherries (if you have not just made the beef crackling, then heat it up first too). Blend the mixture until the beef crackling is reduced to small bits and all the ingredients are well combined together. Place the mixture from the blender into a bowl. If you would like a slight sweetness to the buns, add a little honey (optional) and mix in. Grease 4 of the small circular holes of a silicone baking mould with the lard. Use a spatula and divide the mixture equally between the four holes, and then use the spatula to smooth the tops of each bun off. Decorate the tops of each bun with sour cherries and little circles of lard (optional). Once the mixture has fully cooled, cover the tray with clingfilm and place the Oxtail Munchies in the fridge, to set fully. Once the Oxtail Munchies have set, remove them from the silicone mould, place them on a serving plate and enjoy! Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Tips Ideally, purchase your meat and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. These buns taste great both savoury and slightly sweet. They are also really handy for taking on picnics or while out hiking and can be made slightly smaller for a good party food option. Any fruit or honey should be of organic quality, and are only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

    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, PKD (With Allowances) Halloween Chocolates Introduction & Inspiration Halloween 'Chocolates' are a great alternative to the more traditional Halloween candy, loaded with all sorts of suspect ingredients! They can be prepared slightly sweet, with a splash of colour or they can be enjoyed plain, to use on more savoury dishes. You decide! A very Happy Halloween! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes ( To Note: The Halloween 'Chocolates' will need to be placed in the freezer for 1 -2 hours to fully set) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size Makes 30 small Halloween 'Chocolates' (it will depend on your mould sizes) Main 'Chocolate' Base Ingredients: 90g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow 50g Lard 20-25g Honey* Optional Colour Variations (add to the 'Chocolate' Base ingredients): Blueberry Coulis Raspberry Coulis Blackberry Coulis Recipe Instructions Roast the bones as per the recipe instructions and then scoop out the marrow and place it with the lard and honey in a pan, on low heat. Keep stirring the mixture until the honey has completely dissolved and the lard and bone marrow have melted. Now pour the mixture into a high speed blender and blend well. Pour the contents of the blender through a sieve (and ideally a cheesecloth), into a glass jug. If you would like your chocolates to have a hint of colour to them, you can now add a little coulis to your base 'chocolate' ingredients. Give this a good stir in. Pour the mixture into your favourite Halloween mould(s) and then place them level, in the freezer, to set. Once the chocolates have set, transfer them from the mould(s) into a glass container with a lid, and keep them in the freezer until you're ready to use them. Tips *For a slight sweetness to your chocolates initially add 15g honey and then taste the mixture. If necessary, add a further 5g of honey and check again. Simply add 5g increments of honey each time until you are happy with the sweetness. You can also completely leave the honey out, and they will still make amazing decorations for your culinary delights! If you do not have any lard on hand, then substitute with tallow. The more coulis you add to the base ingredients, the more likely that this will not set fully, even in the freezer. Ideally, purchase your bones and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Any honey and fruit, if using, should be of organic quality, and are only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Lamb Kidneys in Blankets Introduction & Inspiration Lamb kidneys in blankets is simply another fun way to eat lamb kidney. They are nutrient dense, taste delicious and hold together really well.

Wash or soak (30 minutes prior to cooking) the lamb kidney's under running water to remove any bitterness. Slice the kidneys in half and snip out the tight white core with a sharp knife and/or kitchen scissors. Chop the sausage into 4 even slices, and slice the lard back fat thinly into 4 long and narrow even strips. Grease a deep sided porcelain dish (large enough to fit 4 lamb kidneys in blankets inside). Take a half of lamb kidney and place a slice of sausage in the centre of the inner side of the kidney. Place the back fat in the centre, on top of the lamb kidney half, and roll the back fat around the entire half of the lamb kidney like a blanket. Place the lamb kidney into the greased dish. Proceed in the same way to make the other 3 lamb kidneys in blankets. Place the dish into the centre of the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked, switch off the oven and add a serving plate to the oven to be warming. While the lamb kidneys are cooking, add the lamb or oxtail cooking juices to a pan. Cook on medium-high heat for 5 - 6 minutes, or until the liquid reduces down to a nice flavourful sauce. Keep an eye on the liquid to ensure it doesn't bubble up into nothing! At the end of cooking, turn off the heat and add the honey to the pan (if using) and stir in well ready to serve. Remove the dish with the lamb kidneys as well as the serving plate, from the oven.

As they cook the kidney should curl a little and start to resemble little hearts. Eskimo Smoked Mangalica Dwarf Sausage is a traditional homemade smoked sausage made simply with sea salt and pork, allowing the full flavour of the Mangalica-Duroc pork to shine through.
