Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) The Stuffed Meatball Collection Introduction & Inspiration Stuffed meatballs are a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed all year-round. They’re simple to prepare and offer endless possibilities for flavour combinations. Nutrient dense stuffed meatballs with a great PKD ratio are easy to achieve and taste delicious. Here are just a few ways you can create nutrient dense meals with very basic ingredients. Enjoy these meaty balls of goodness! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 7 x Stuffed Meatballs (Various Versions) Meatball Filling Ingredients (select the version to see ingredients): Liver Parfait Version Brain Mayonnaise Version Eskimo Pork Crackling Version Bone Marrow Version Veal Heart Version Egg Yolk Version Lamb Kidney Version + Lard or tallow for coating Recipe Instructions Chop the lamb kidney and veal heart into very small cubes (this is important so that the meatballs hold together well during assembly). Push the raw bone marrow out of the bones and chop it up into small cubes too. Divide the minced meat out into varying sized balls (based on the Options above). Place the balls of minced meat on a wooden chopping board and mould them into bowl shapes with your fingers. Sprinkle the minced meat with a little salt. Make up the meatballs by adding the fillings mentioned above (Example: To make a meatball with filling Option no. 1, just add a little ball of liver parfait/pâté to the centre of the minced meat bowl and add the bone marrow cubes around the sides and on top). Once you've added the various filling to the meatballs, use your hands to mould the minced meat around the meatball fillings. It's ok to leave a gap in the minced meat at the top of the meatball so that you can see the filling ingredients slightly. (It also looks pretty for serving). Melt a little lard or tallow and coat the meatballs using a pastry brush. Place the meatballs in the fridge for 30 minutes. Pre heat the air fryer for a few minutes at 180c. Grease the basket of the air fryer and proceed to add the meatballs into it (you may need to cook them in batches, depending on quantity). Cook the meatballs for 10 minutes. Remove the meatballs carefully from the air fryer using a spatula and then place them on a serving plate. Enjoy these wonderful meaty balls of goodness! Tips The egg yolk can be already pasteurised (see my Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised recipe) or else can be cooked from raw. If the egg yolk is placed towards the top of the meatball filling ingredients then the raw egg will be fully cooked. If you prefer the egg yolk to be slightly runny, then place the pasteurised egg yolk sauce filling at the bottom of the meatball with other ingredients on top. The bone marrow can be either raw or it can also be already cooked too. Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and organs 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 Liver Parfait (which is an easy pâté to make), Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised and Brain Mayonnaise recipes for instructions on how to make all of these. The Eskimo Pork Crackling Crumbs are made from fatty bacon from free-range (Hungarian Big White) pork. The Crackling is a thawed, rolled-up piece of bacon cut into even cubes. An excellent raw source of energy and guaranteed free of milk and additives! You can order this, and other wonderful products, from Eskimo Kitchen in Hungary: Eskimokitchen.eu If you do not have any pork crackling crumbs handy, then you can substitute with beef crackling crumbs instead. Simply mix and match the meatballs with their stuffing ingredients based on your own preferences. For a good PKD ratio, just ensure you have sufficient meat and fat in each stuffed meatball. Try and chop the lamb kidney, veal heart and bone marrow into very small cubes (you could also blend them briefly in a mini blender at a pinch too, before adding to the minced meat) to ensure easy assembly of your stuffed meatballs. Even if they are looking a little fragile, once they have been refrigerated for 30 minutes, they hold up really well to the cooking. If you do not have an air fryer you can cook these meatballs in the oven too. Video

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.

Tips Ideally, purchase your meat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs. If you do not have any lard for greasing your mat, substitute with tallow. If you do not have any lamb liver, you can certainly use veal or beef liver as well. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate liver and egg sheets into various dishes. As a slightly variation, you can also make a liver and egg sheet too, if you do ok with egg yolks of course. See my Liver and Egg Sheet recipe for this slightly modified version. To achieve an even thinner sheet, you can also add a small amount of bone broth to make the liver mixture slightly thinner before pouring it on top of the silicone mat. Be sure to add an appropriate amount of fat to accompany your sheet, to achieve a perfect PKD ratio. Video

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Beef Crackling Introduction & Inspiration Beef Crackling is such an amazing by-product of making tallow. These delicious and nutritious nuggets of goodness are so satiating and can be enjoyed as-is, or used in a variety of different ways in recipes. You will love making your own beef tallow, just to appreciate these yummy treats! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 215g Beef Crackling (made from rendering 900g Beef Suet) Main Ingredients: 900g Beef Suet Fat Salt To taste Recipe Instructions Instructions using an Air Fryer Chop the beef suet fat into 4-5 cm cubes approximately. Place the cubes in the basket of an air fryer. Air fryer the cubes, stirring periodically until the cubes reduce in size and most of the fat is rendered. Below are some rough guidelines to use when melting your beef suet ( based on the Ninja Tendercrisp machine on the Air Crisp setting): Temperature Setting 185c - cook for 10 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 190c - cook for 8 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 190c - cook for 5 minutes Stir Temperature Setting 185c - cook for 2 minutes Once the Beef Crackling is done to your liking, carefully remove the crackling with some kitchen tongs, and place them into a glass bowl. If you like these with a touch of salt (depending on what recipes you will be using them in), now is the perfect time to add some while they're warm. Once the Beef Crackling has cooled down, it can be stored in the fridge for several days (although I have found that it doesn't last that long!). Tips If you do not have an air fryer, don't despair. You can simply melt the Beef Suet cubes in a large pot on the stove. It will take a little longer, but the results are well worth the effort! While it can be tempting to add salt to the beef crackling cubes while it is cooking, I tend to only salt my beef crackling once I have removed it from the air fryer, since I want the tallow I am making to be as pure as possible and without any added salt. Beef Crackling can be used as your fat accompaniment for many recipes, as a change from other animal fats. Check out my Beef Crunchies recipe for ideas on how to use this wonderful Beef Crackling. Ideally, purchase your beef suet from pasture raised animals. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Video

Regime Type: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs Roast Beef Flour Introduction & Inspiration Transformed from leftover roast beef, this savoury beef 'flour' boasts an ideal consistency for baking buns, making pie bases or coating ingredients. I was inspired to try it after watching a great video called 'Making Meat Flour' on the Allergies Bite but Taste Good YouTube Channel (see the link below). The process to make this 'flour' is quick and easy, so why not give this a try the next time you're baking in the kitchen? Happy Baking! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than one hour Serving Size 1 x 154g Roast Beef Flour Main Ingredients: 421g Beef Joint - Oven Leftovers Recipe Instructions Cook the beef joint in the oven as per the recipe instructions. Once cool, place any leftover meat in an airtight glass container and refrigerate overnight. The Next Day Pre heat your oven to150c. Add the beef to a food processor. Whizz the meat up until you obtain a fine crushed up meat. Line 2 or 3 baking trays with greaseproof paper and then pour the beef bits onto the trays and spread out the beef evenly. Place all the baking trays in the oven and cook for 20 minutes then bring out and use a spatula to turn over the beef bits and check on how dry they're getting. The beef should still feel moist/damp when you touch it with your hands. Place the trays back in the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes and then remove from the oven and check again. If you touch the meat bits now and they feel dry, you know the meat is cooked enough. Should the beef bits still feel a little moist, use the spatula or your hands and give the meat a mix on the baking trays. Place the trays back in the oven for a further 10 minutes (only if needed). If you touch the meat bits now and they feel dry, you know the meat is cooked enough. If there is still a little moisture sensation, then add back to the oven for 5 minutes at a time and then check. Once the beef bits are cool, add them to a coffee grinder (in batches) and blend until they turn into a fine powder. The beef bits or crumbs are also great to use as is for certain recipes, so it's worth trying both textures out. Place the roast beef flour in an airtight container and store it in the fridge until you are ready to use it. Tips A coffee grinder works perfectly to turn the beef crumbs into a fine powder (if required), if you happen to have one handy. The coarse beef crumbs also work very well in certain recipes, so it's worth trying both textures out. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate beef roast flour into various dishes. As a rough guide1g of roast beef flour is equivalent to 3g uncooked beef for the purposes of this video. Note down the weight of your beef at different stages of the cooking process (uncooked joint of beef, cooked joint, roast beef flour weight) to determine how much meat each 1g of flour equates to. This will help to ensure you maintain a good PKD ratio for your recipes. Check out the 'Making Meat Flour' video on the Allergies Bite but Taste Good YouTube Channel, where they make some wonderful beef 'flour'. Making Meat Flour - YouTube Video

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Liver Carbonara Introduction & Inspiration Liver Carbonara is a delicious 'pasta' style dish which is extremely creamy, savoury and satisfying. This is a great PKD alternative to the more classic version. The liver 'pasta' is a perfect match for the creamy sauce. The dish is simple enough to prepare, so please do give it a go and let me know how it turned out for you. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less Than 30 Minutes Serving Size 1 x Liver Carbonara Main Ingredients: 1/2 x Sheet Liver 'Pasta' (approx. 80g) 50g Pork Belly (fatty)* 60g Pig Brains - Poached 70ml Egg Yolk Sauce - Pasteurised 70ml Bone Broth - Hot (plus 15ml extra as required, to thin the sauce) Salt To Taste Garnish: Fresh or Dried Parsley (Optional) 1 Tbsp Cured Egg Yolk - Grated (Optional) 10g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Make the liver sheet as per the recipe instructions. Allow to cool. Add a 'fettucine' attachment to the KitchenAid device, switch the machine on and feed the sheet into the machine. Place a bowl underneath the attachment for the liver 'pasta' to fall into. Reserve. Chop the pork belly into small cubes on a wooden chopping board. Add the cubes to a frying pan on medium heat. Cook for a couple of minutes until the cubes starts to release some of their fat. While the pork belly is cooking, add the egg yolk sauce and pork brains to a medium sized glass bowl. Add a touch of salt and then use an electric hand whisk to whisk the ingredients together to create a nice thick sauce. Add a little bone broth (or hot water) to thin the sauce down slightly, as required. Once the pork belly has released some of its cooking fat, turn the frying pan heat to low-medium and add the sauce to the pan. Use a spatula to give the sauce a good mix into the cooking juices from the pork belly. If the sauce is a touch too thick, add a little extra bone broth and stir in well. Warm the serving dish in the pre heated oven. Wait for the oven to reach temperature and then turn it off, before adding your dish. Add the liver 'pasta' to the frying pan and use a spatula to coat all the pasta in the creamy sauce. Leave the 'pasta' for a minute or so in the warm sauce, so that everything becomes nice and hot. Remove the serving dish from the oven. Transfer the liver carbonara to the warm serving dish. Season your carbonara with a little parsley (optional) and top with some grated cured egg yolk and crispy Parma ham flakes. Enjoy nice and hot! Tips *If you do not have any pork belly available use a flavourful meat, such as Eskimo Kitchen's Smoked Marble or Dwarf sausage, or even their Donkey or Buffalo salamis. They're all delicious and will add wonderful flavours to your carbonara! If you use smoked sausage or if your pork belly is not very fatty, then use some extra fat for a good PKD ratio. Your liver sheet should be at least 1 day old, as otherwise it's difficult to cut using the machine. If you do not have a machine to cut the liver sheet into fettucine type strips, simply place the liver sheet on a large wooden chopping board and cut long strips with a width of approximately 6mm. They're probably just as good. I just like using my gadgets. 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. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs for the egg yolk sauce. 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 ). Any herbs should be of organic quality, and are only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.
