    Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Beef Flake Buns Introduction & Inspiration Beef Flake Buns are wonderfully filling and have a good PKD ratio, as well as being super easy to make! They are a great savoury snack when you're out hiking or on a picnic for example. They are also nutrient dense, with a slight chewiness from the Crispy Parma Ham. The dried sour cherries also complement the flake mixture very nicely. I hope you will give these little buns a try. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes ( To Note: They will need approx. 2 hours to set once made) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 4 x Beef Flakes Buns Main Ingredients: 65g Beef With Liver Flakes 30g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes 25g Tallow 10g Dried Sour Cherries 1 Tsp Honey (Optional - for slight sweetness) Recipe Instructions Melt the tallow in a pan on low heat. While the tallow is melting, chop the dried sour cherries on a wooden chopping board into small pieces. Add all the remaining ingredients to the pan and mix everything well into the tallow with a spatula. Once the ingredients are all well coated in tallow, divide the mixture up between 4 greased circular moulds and then use the back of a spoon to compact the mixture into the moulds so that everything sets well. Cover the mould tray with clingfilm and then place the tray in the fridge for 2+ hours for the buns to set hard. Once the Beef Flake Buns have set, take the tray from the fridge, remove the clingfilm and pop the buns out of the mould onto a serving plate. (To Note: if you're not eating them straightaway, simply store them in an airtight container in the fridge). Bon Appetit! Tips You can make these buns slightly sweeter by adding a teaspoon of honey as an option, however the savoury version is perfect as is. Ideally, purchase your meat and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Any fruit or honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Check out my Beef With Liver Flakes and Crispy Parma Ham Flakes recipes for instructions on how to make these. The Beef Flake Buns make a wonderful snack and are easily transportable to take on picnics or hikes. They are also super filling with a great PKD ratio. Video

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Flat Bottom Offal Muffins Introduction & Inspiration I love having a mix of offal in my meals and so it was nice to create these muffins for such occasions. They are delicious with a little pâté spread on top, as well as served warm with a rich gravy sauce. I hope you will enjoy them too! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 1 hour Serving Size 6 x Flat Bottom Offal Muffins (10cm Diameter) Main Ingredients: 125g Pig Brains 100g Veal Liver 115g Veal Heart 90g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow Lard or Tallow for Greasing Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 160c. Soak the pig brains in a bowl of aired water with some salt for 30 minutes - 1 hour. Remove the brains and place them one by one in the palm of your hand. Run a little water from the tap and carefully use your fingers to remove the thin outer layer of membrane. Take your time doing this and clean a little under the running water as you go. I prefer to hold the brains in my hand as I can then feel if there are any little bits of bone still left in the brains which isn't always possible to detect if you have the brains submerged in water for the cleaning process. Place all the ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Grease 6 circular muffin holes in a silicone mould with lard or tallow and then add a sheet of greaseproof paper to the bottom of each hole (this will make it easier to remove each muffin after cooking). Divide the contents of the blender equally between the muffin holes with the help of a spatula. Use the spatula or a teaspoon to smooth off the top of each muffin. Place the silicone tray on a baking tray and place in the pre-heated oven for 35 minutes. Once, done, brown the top of the muffins for a few minutes so that they have a light golden finish to them. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn! Allow the muffins to rest on the countertop to cool, before removing the muffins from the mould onto a serving plate. If you are not going to be eating the muffins straightaway, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Tips 'Browning' Some functions of ovens enable you to brown the surface of the food by activating the grill once cooking is complete. When using the 'Browning' setting on your oven, monitor closely the loaf so that it doesn't burn at the last minute. Ideally, purchase your fat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Check out my Lard and Pork Crackling - Air Fryer, Beef Crackling (for Tallow) and Oven Roasted Bone Marrow recipes for instructions on how to make these.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Tasty Lamb, Heart and Kidney Burger Patties Introduction & Inspiration These burger patties are not only very nutrient dense, but they're wonderfully tasty too! They can be made very quickly and only take a short amount of time to cook. Give them a try and let me know what you think. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Tasty Lamb, Heart and Kidney Burger Patties (9cm diameter) Main Ingredients: 220g Lamb Shoulder 55g Lamb Kidney 40g Veal Heart 65g Tallow - soft Salt To Taste Topping For Burger Patties (For a good PKD ratio) 25g Beef Crackling (represents 40g fat) * Recipe Instructions Chop the lamb and kidney into small pieces. Add the pieces to a mini blender along with the salt and tallow. Blend briefly until all the ingredients are well combined, but avoid over blending. Place a pastry circle (or burger patty circle) on top of a piece of greaseproof paper within a large shallow dish (to retain the cooking juices) on a baking tray. Add half of the patty mixture from the blender into the circle. Use a spoon or burger patty press, to press the patty mixture down into a nice burger patty shape. Carefully remove the circle from around the patty. Repeat the above step, to make the second burger patty. If you're not cooking your burger patties straightaway, place the patties in an airtight container in the fridge, otherwise go ahead and cook the patties in the oven or a frying pan until cooked to your liking. Add the beef crackling to the top of your burger patties (to ensure a good PKD ratio) and drizzle with any cooking juices. Enjoy! Tips Depending on how fatty your lamb shoulder meat is, adjust the extra fat added accordingly for a good PKD ratio. 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. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate tasty lamb and kidney burger patties into various dishes. *The burger patties cook up really well in the oven. It's my favourite way of cooking them so far. Some fat will be rendered during the cooking process (approx. 19ml cooking juices per burger patty), so be sure to pour the juices over your burger patties at the end to retain a good PKD ratio. If you are eating the patties on burger buns, then instead of consuming liquid fat (if you have issues with it), simply reserve this fat for another recipe and add some extra beef crackling to the tops of your burgers to retain a good PKD ratio. If you don't have any beef crackling available, then simply use pork back fat, lard, tallow, bone marrow or another animal fat to ensure a good PKD ratio of meat to fat. If you are new to eating heart and kidney, they're extremely mild. While you get used to the flavour, you can simply add slightly more lamb and less of the other ingredients if need be. Honestly though, it's very difficult to detect either the kidney or the heart in these burger patties. Video Not Available Yet....

They can be useful as a basket/bowl to place desserts or other ingredients into, as rolls or as a wafer accompaniment for various dishes. The texture is also super fine like Filo Pastry, so they add a delicate, crispy touch to other recipe ingredient textures. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Raspberry Crispy Wafers Main Ingredients: 50g Pork Jelly Cubes 30ml Bone Broth 1-2 tsp Raspberry Coulis Recipe Instructions In a pan on low heat melt the pork jelly with the bone broth and Raspberry Coulis, and stir the mixture until everything is well combined. Just before the pork jelly mixture is ready (30 - 45 seconds), heat your crepe pan up on medium-high heat. Once the crepe pan is hot, pour approximately half of the mixture into the crepe pan and use a pastry brush and work quickly to brush the mixture over the surface of the hot crepe pan. You will need to give it a few coats. When the pan is sufficiently hot, you should see the mixture soon change to a light brown type colour within a few seconds. At this point, act quickly with a spatula to lift up the edges of the wafer and then use a pair of kitchen tongs to remove the wafer from the base of the crepe pan on to a serving plate. Repeat the above steps until all the raspberry pork jelly mixture has been used up. Your Raspberry Crispy Wafers are now ready to use! Tips If you remove the wafer quickly from the hot crepe pan and place in a rack in a U shape, the wrap can be used as a taco holder.

Check out my Pork Jelly, Raspberry Coulis and Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these. Bear in mind that the protein content of gelatine needs to be taken into account when you add fat for PKD purposes. (So for this recipe consider adding 16g fat). Video

    Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances), Without Eggs Oxtail Fat Jelly Treats Introduction & Inspiration Oxtail Fat Jelly Treats are an attractive looking savoury dessert with just a hint of sweetness from the cherries. They are easy to prepare and set wonderfully in the fridge. They're a great way of sampling all the loveliness that oxtail in all it's forms (meat, cooking juices and fat) has to offer and have a great PKD ratio. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: These will need a few hours to set in the fridge once made) Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 5 x Oxtail Fat Jelly Treats ( 5cm deep appetiser glasses - 5cm diameter) Main Ingredients: 150g Oxtail Leftovers 110ml Oxtail Cooking Juices 85g Oxtail Fat (melted - liquid form) 7.5 Cherries (pitted) Salt To Taste - Optional Optional Decoration Cured Egg Yolk (grated) / Crispy Parma Ham Flakes Recipe Instructions Warm the oxtail and oxtail cooking juices on the stove for a couple of minutes on low heat (add salt to the meat and cooking juices, if using), so that the cooking juices are liquid (as opposed to jelly-like when cold) and the oxtail leftovers are slightly warm. Divide the oxtail leftovers between the terrine glasses, and push down the meat until nice and level using a spoon or a small rolling pin end. Divide the oxtail juices evenly between the terrine glasses, saving room at the top for the oxtail fat. If the oxtail fat is still solid, pop it in a pan and melt it on low heat for a few minutes until it becomes liquid. Divide the liquid oxtail fat evenly between the terrine glasses and insert a cherry into the centre of each terrine. Place the terrines on a serving tray, and put them in the fridge to set fully. This may take a couple of hours. Just before serving, remove the serving tray with the terrines from the fridge. Add half a cherry on top of each terrine and grate a little Cured Egg Yolk (or alternatively, Crispy Parma Ham Flakes) over the top of each glass. Tips Ideally, purchase your meat and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Any fruit should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Check out my Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make this. To ensure a good PKD ratio for this savoury dessert, simply ensure that you take note of the difference between the raw weight of the oxtail before cooking (minus the weight of the bones onced you've cooked it) and cooked oxtail leftovers so that you use the appropriate amount of fat for your desserts. If you are not a fan of cherries, simply substitute them for a different fruit like raspberries or strawberries. Blackberries also marry very well with oxtail. Or just leave them plain, for a refreshing savoury dessert. Video

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Leg Of Lamb - Slow Cooked In The Oven Introduction & Inspiration This Slow Cooked Leg of Lamb is going to take your next Sunday meal to a whole new level! It is extremely easy to make, but you will have to be patient as it's going to be a low and slow type of cook. However the reward will be the most amazingly tender lamb leg with meat that literally falls off the bone, served with flavoursome cooking juices and bacon slices. What's not to like! I hope you will give this a try over Spring, or indeed any moment you have time to appreciate this delicious cut of meat among family and friends. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: The leg of lamb preparation should be done several hours before cooking or ideally overnight). Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes (To Note: Ideally you will need to also allow time to baste your leg of lamb at regular intervals with the cooking juices) Serving Size 4 - 6 Servings Main Ingredients: 1.895 kg Leg Of Lamb 80g Tallow (room temperature) 400ml Bone Broth 180g Smoked Bacon Slices Salt To Taste 2 Carrots (Optional) 1 x Parsnip (Optional) 2 tsp Dried Rosemary or Thyme (Optional) Recipe Instructions Instructions Prior to Cooking : In a large bowl, add the tallow, rosemary and salt. Use a fork to mix all the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Reserve. Place the lamb on a wooden chopping board and pat it dry all over with a paper towel. Score the top of the lamb 3 - 4 times with a sharp knife. Rub the tallow mixture all over the lamb and into the little slits you have created. Cover the lamb, and Ideally leave it in the fridge for several hours (or overnight) before cooking. Instructions for Cooking : Pre-heat the oven to 130c - Convection. Heat up the bone broth in a pan on low heat, until it's nice and hot. Remove the leg of lamb from the fridge and place it on top of a little trivet, in a roasting tin. Cover the top of the lamb with the slices of smoked bacon. Pour the bone broth around the sides of the lamb leg. Peel the parsnip and the carrots (if using) and cut them into small cubes and place around the sides of the lamb leg. Crumple some greaseproof paper, large enough to cover the meat and then wet it under the tap. Cover the leg of lamb with the greaseproof paper and then add some aluminium foil on top and make sure it is well sealed around the roasting tin. Place the roasting tin in the oven and cook for 10-11 hours. (Try and Baste the meat with the cooking juices every hour, and from 9 hours onwards baste the meat and also use two forks to check if you can pull the meat apart easily. Once you can, it's ready). Remove the roasting tin from the oven, baste the meat with the cooking juices and cover again and allow the meat to rest for 30 minutes. Transfer the Leg of Lamb to a wooden chopping board, 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. To serve, cut or shred the meat, removing any bones. Place the lamb and vegetables (if using) onto a serving plates (or a serving platter) and drizzle over some of the cooking sauce. To ensure a good PKD meat : fat ratio, add some whipped tallow or other PKD fat of your choice. Enjoy! Tips Ideally use a snug fit roasting tin (i.e. that is only slightly bigger than the lamb leg so that everything stays juicy). This lamb is delicious served with a traditional mint sauce. Check out my Mint Sauce recipe for instructions on how to make this. 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. Any vegetables or herbs should be of organic quality, and are only recommended for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Breaded Liver on Whipped Beef Tallow Introduction & Inspiration For a dish that is simply 'breaded' liver it is extremely tasty as is, with an incredible flavour furnished by the lamb sauce reduction. A wonderful change from other, more bland liver dishes. The 'breading' is made using beef crackling crumbs and the whipped tallow makes for a creamy sauce. It's a very quick and easy weeknight meal to prepare that not only tastes delicious but also ensures you're getting in adequate liver on PKD. I hope you will enjoy this way of eating liver. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Serving of Breaded Liver On Whipped Beef Tallow Main Ingredients: 200g Lamb Liver 125ml Lamb Cooking Juices (plus 50ml extra for deglazing) 40g Whipped Tallow Fat 20g Beef Crackling Crumbs 5g Tallow (or Lard) for coating Garnish: Sprig of Parsley (Optional) Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Give the lamb 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 liver all over with melted tallow in a glass bowl. Sprinkle half of the beef crackling crumbs over the top of the liver. Use kitchen tongs to turn the liver over and coat the top half of the liver with the remaining beef crackling crumbs until both sides are fully coated. Add any remaining melted tallow to the centre of a frying pan on medium-high heat and then add the lamb cooking juices. Leave the juices to reduce down for 6 or so minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to turn into a slightly thicker sauce. The liquid will be bubbling 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 for 2 minutes. Towards the end of the cooking, baste the liver with the cooking juices. 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 lamb cooking juices. Use a spatula or pastry brush to help loosen the fond. This will create even more flavour for the sauce. Once the juices are nice and warm, add 2 tablespoons of the sauce from the frying pan to the bowl with the whipped tallow. Use an electric hand whisk to whip the tallow up to combine the cooking juices. Remove the liver and serving plate from the oven. Use a knife to cut the liver into thin slices on a wooden chopping board. Add the whipped tallow to the centre of the serving plate in a long strip (roughly the size of the liver slices). Using a spatula, carefully transfer the slices on top of the whipped tallow. Use a spoon to drizzle your liver with the remaining sauce from the frying pan. Top with a sprig of parsley for decoration. Bon Appetit! Tips Ideally, purchase your offal and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. 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 beef crackling crumbs the 'breading' you can always use crispy Parma ham powder, Sausage and Greaves Spread, Beef Tripe 'Flour' or 'Pulled Pork Flour' or just grind up some tripe or beef sheets into a fine powder.

Grease a silicone baking mat (e.g. De Buyer) with tallow or lard. Pour approx. 100ml of the mixture on to the silicone mat (that's on a baking tray) and spread out a thin layer of the mixture using a spatula.

    Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Breaded Liver With Pulled Pork Sauce Introduction & Inspiration For a dish that is simply 'breaded' liver it is extremely tasty, with an incredible flavour furnished by the rich pulled pork sauce. A wonderful change from other more bland liver dishes. The breading is provided by a very fine tripe 'flour'. I wouldn't suggest making the 'flour' every day since it's not very economical, however it can be a great treat for special occasions or when you fancy a change. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Breaded Liver With Pulled Pork Sauce Main Ingredients: 125g Veal Liver 30ml Pulled Pork Sauce 40g Crunchy Tallow Spread 25g Tallow or Lard - melted 150g Tripe 'Flour' for 'breading' (a very small amount is required for 'breading') 25ml Bone Broth Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Give the veal liver a quick rinse under running water and then pat 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 soft tallow or lard. Sprinkle your liver with a little salt to taste. Sprinkle the tripe flour into a large enough dish, to a similar size as the slice of veal liver. Now use kitchen tongs to place the liver on top of the tripe 'flour' so that it becomes coated all over in the 'flour'. Take your kitchen tongs and then flip the liver over so that both sides of the liver are well coated. Add the crunchy tallow spread to the centre of a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once the tallow has melted and the pan is nice and hot, use the kitchen tongs to add the breaded liver to the centre of the pan. Leave to cook for 1 minute on this side, before getting the kitchen tongs and turning the liver over to cook for another minute on the other side. At this point you can add the pulled pork sauce to the pan. The juices will bubble a little. Tilt the frying pan slightly so that you can spoon a little of the juices over the top of the liver. Cook for another one minute on each side, turning the liver halfway through. Remove the pan from the heat, and allow the breaded liver to cool a little, before slicing the liver (optional), and placing it on a serving plate. Deglaze the frying pan by adding it back on the heat and pouring in the bone broth. Use a spatula or pastry brush to help loosen the fond. This will create even more flavour for the sauce. Pour the sauce from the pan into a jug and drizzle your liver with the remaining cooking juices. 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 do not have any veal liver available, then use lamb or else beef liver instead. Check out my Pulled Pork Sauce, Crunchy Tallow Spread and Tripe 'Flour' recipes for instructions on how to make all of these. If you like this recipe, why not try out my Breaded Liver on Beef Crackling Purée too! If you're not able to use Tripe ‘Flour’ for the 'breading' you can always use crispy Parma Ham Powder or 'Pulled Pork Flour' or even just grind up some pork, beef or liver sheets into a fine powder. If you do not have any pulled pork sauce, you can always use a rich sauce like oxtail or lamb to provide a good amount of flavour. Video Not Available Yet....

X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time 30 minutes to 1 hour Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 12 Mini Lamb Burger Bites Ingredients for the mini burgers 485g Minced Lamb 75g Tallow - softened Salt To Taste 70g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow (scooped out of the bone) Ingredients for the filling / topping 35g Organic Redcurrants 20ml Water 70g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow (scooped out of the bone) - placed in the fridge until cold 20g Honey - Local & Organic Redcurrants (for decoration - optional) Oven Roasted Bone Marrow - (Cold & Grated for decoration - optional) Recipe Instructions Instructions for the mini burgers Preheat the oven to 150c. Place the minced lamb in a glass bowl. Add a pinch of some salt to the lamb. Add the softened tallow to the lamb. Mix all the ingredients well together. Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 hole baking mould tray and smooth off the tops. Place the baking tray into the centre of the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the baking tray from the oven, place the mini lamb burgers on to a plate and allow the lamb to cool on the countertop. Instructions for the filling/topping Place the redcurrants and water in a pan, on low heat. Add in the honey and keep stirring until the honey has completely dissolved into the water. Now pour the mixture into a mini blender. Blend well for 20-30 seconds. Pour the contents of the blender through a sieve into a glass jug so that no seeds are present. Place the jug in the fridge for 10 minutes to allow the redcurrant juice to cool down. Add the redcurrant juice slowly to the glass bowl containing the cold bone marrow & whisk by hand or use a hand whisk (2-3 minutes), until you have a homogenous fluffy mixture. Mini Burger Assembly Once the lamb burgers are cool enough to handle you can chop all of them in half (or else leave some whole so they can have the filling on top instead). Now simply spoon a dollop of the filling (approx 10-12g) mixture on top of one of the cut halves, and then proceed to place the other half back on top. Continue in the same way for all the burgers that have been cut in half. If you did leave some mini burgers whole, then add a dollop of the filling on top, and add a little redcurrant in the middle for decoration if you wish. Enjoy these mini lamb burger bites straightaway, or else place them on a plate in the fridge until you are ready to serve them. Tips When you cut the mini lamb burgers in half, be sure to have a very sharp knife, especially if the burgers are still slightly warm so that they don't break apart. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised sources that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Any honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small amounts for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Video Not Available Yet....

This rich and hearty stew features tender chunks of beef and Eskimo smoked scout sausage, all slow-cooked in a gelatinous broth. The result is the most tender and succulent meat combined with the most delicious cooking juices that are guaranteed to tantalize the taste buds. This dish will impress your hosts without you having to work too hard! I hope you'll give it a try! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 14 Hours – Slow Cooker (Low Setting) Serving Size 1230g Beef Bourguignon 300g Eskimo Smoked Scout Sausage 1025ml Beef Bourguignon Cooking Juices Main Ingredients: 1800g Beef Bourguignon 300g Eskimo Smoked Scout Sausage (or similar) 60g Oxtail Fat - for searing 660ml Oxtail Cooking Juices or Bone Broth Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions If the beef bourguignon meat is not already cubed, go ahead and cut it into medium sized 3 cm cubes. Slice the scout sausage into 2 cm chunks. In the slow cooker, add the fat. Set the machine to Sear mode. Once the fat's melted and the container is nice and hot, add the meat in batches. Sear the beef bourguignon cubes and sausage on all sides until slightly browned. Use a pair of kitchen tongs to help turn them over. Switch off the Sear mode. Pour the oxtail cooking juices (or bone broth) over the top of the beef bourguignon and sausages. Set the valve of the Ninja Tendercrisp to Vent on the lid. Choose Slow Cooker and Set the Time to 14 hours on LOW (or 12 hours + 2, if there is a maximum time limit on your device). After 14 hours, open the lid and check whether the meat is nice and tender. It should be! Remove the beef bourguignon meat and the sausage pieces from the container (that way you can determine the weight of the food once cooked and determine the % shrinkage of the meat so you'll know how much fat to add). Depending on how you will be serving the beef bourguignon (in a soup, as a stew or in a pie etc.) you can go ahead and shred the beef bourguignon meat should you wish with it being super tender. Or else leave the cubes of meat whole. If you are not using the meat straightaway, leave the beef bourguignon to cool completely before placing a lid on the dish and storing it in the fridge. Pour the beef bourguignon cooking juices through a fine mesh sieve into a glass jar. Leave it to cool before placing a lid on and storing this in the fridge too. These flavoursome juices can be reduced down in a pan to make a wonderfully rich and slightly smoky sauce to accompany the fork tender meat. Enjoy! Tips Depending on how you like your sausages, you can add them slightly later in the cooking process for a slightly firmer texture. After 12.5 hours of cooking the beef bourguignon cubes are tender, however I leave it cooking for the full14 hours for super tender, melt in the mouth meat. You get to decide how you like it. Look for quality beef, ribboned with fat ideally, for the juiciest result. Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker, Oxtail - Slow Cooker recipes for instructions on how to make these.
