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.

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) 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. Check out my Oven Roasted Bone Marrow recipe for instructions on how to make this.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Oxtail Munchies Introduction & Inspiration These little buns are packed with flavour and nutrients. 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.

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

Admittedly they are a little unusual looking (with an almost heart shaped appearance), but different is good, especially when it comes to nourishing our bodies! x Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less Than 30 Minutes Serving Size 4 x Lamb Kidneys in Blankets Main Ingredients: 120g Lamb Kidneys 20g Eskimo Mangalica Smoked Dwarf Sausage 40g Lard Back Fat Salt To Taste Sauce Idea 50ml Lamb or Oxtail Cooking Juices 1/2 Tsp Smallholder's Blueberry or Raspberry Honey (Optional) Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 175c. 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. Use a spatula to place the lamb kidneys in blankets in the centre of the serving plate and drizzle them with the delicious sauce. Enjoy your meal! Tips 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. Check out my Lamb - Slow Cooker and Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. If you're not able to eat pork fat for any reason, slice some thin strips of beef suet. Try and ensure the lard strips are thin and narrow enough to be able to easily roll them around the centre of the kidney halves. 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. It's also a perfect food for those with allergies or food sensitivities due to the absence of any spices. For best results do not overcook it (it can also be eaten raw).

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Breaded Liver on Beef Crackling Puree Introduction & Inspiration 'Breaded' liver it is extremely tasty, with an incredible flavour furnished by the oxtail sauce reduction. A wonderful change from other, more bland liver dishes. The breading is provided by a very fine crispy Parma ham powder to give it a nice savoury flavour and the hot beef crackling is blended to a purée consistency with a touch of the rich cooking sauce. It's an ideal combination of flavours, quick to make and perfect for a week night meal to ensure you're getting your regular intake of liver on PKD. I hope you will enjoy making 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 30 Minutes Serving Size 1 x 'Breaded' Liver on Beef Crackling Purée Main Ingredients: 140g Veal Liver 125ml Oxtail Cooking Juices (plus 50ml extra for deglazing) 55g Beef Crackling 25g Crispy Parma Ham Powder 10g Lard for coating Garnish: Sprig of Parsley (Optional) 1 tsp Crispy Parma Ham Powder (Optional) Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Give the veal liver a quick rinse under running water and then pat it dry with a paper towel. Place the liver on a wooden chopping board. Use a pastry brush to coat the veal liver all over with melted lard. Sprinkle the crispy Parma ham powder into a large enough dish ( a similar size as the slice of veal liver). Now use kitchen tongs to dip the liver into the powder until all sides are fully coated. Add any remaining melted lard to the centre of a frying pan on medium-high heat and then add the oxtail cooking juices. Leave the juices to reduce down for 6 or so minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to turn into a thicker sauce and bubbles up. At this point you can add the liver to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, before flipping the liver over with the kitchen tongs and cooking the remaining side for 2 minutes. Add the 'breaded' liver onto a lined baking tray along with a serving plate. Wait for the oven to reach temperature and then turn it off, before adding your tray to the oven . Deglaze the frying pan by adding it back on a medium heat and pouring in the extra oxtail cooking juices, along with the beef crackling pieces. Use a spatula or pastry brush to help loosen the fond. This will create even more flavour for the jus. Once the beef crackling pieces are nice and warm, add them to a mini blender, together with a 3-4 tablespoons of the jus from the frying pan. Blend, until the beef crackling resembles a purée in consistency. Remove the liver and serving plate from the oven. Add the beef crackling purée to the centre of the serving plate in a long strip (roughly the size of the liver slices). Use a knife to cut the liver into thin slices on a wooden chopping board and then using a spatula, carefully transfer the slices on top of the purée. Use a spoon to drizzle your liver with the remaining jus from the frying pan. Top with a sprinkle of crispy Parma ham powder and a sprig of parsley for decoration. Bon Appetit! Tips Ideally, purchase your 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. You can also coat your liver using egg yolk or liver pâté as well for variation. If using eggs, be sure to use free range, organic eggs. If you're not able to use crispy Parma Ham Powder for the 'breading' you can always use Beef Tripe 'Flour' or 'Pulled Pork Flour' or even just grind up some tripe, beef, liver or pork sheets into a fine powder. If you do not have any veal liver available, then use lamb or else beef liver instead. Check out my Crispy Parma Ham Powder, Lard and Pork Crackling - Air Fryer and Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make all of these. If you do not have any oxtail cooking juices, use another type of broth, ideally one that has a lot of flavour. If you like this recipe, why not try out my Breaded Liver With Pulled Pork Sauce too!

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 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.

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.
