(To Note: You can add the bowl to the freezer for 5 minutes to have a thicker consistency to the frosting). The frosting is ready to be used straightaway. Otherwise cover the frosting and store it in the fridge. (To Note: the frosting will set in the fridge and so it’s best to make it when you’re ready to use it).

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....

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Creamy Brain and Lard Dressing Introduction & Inspiration This dressing is a lovely white colour and is still easily spreadable straight from the fridge. The brains are not overly dominant in the dressing and marry well with the creamy lard and salt.

If you are unsure, refer to the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet Rules document or consult with ICMNI in Hungary ( Home - Nutriintervention ).

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Bone Broth and Parma Ham Mayonnaise Introduction & Inspiration The goal was to make use of the fat layer that forms on top of the juices created when making bone broth, and this recipe doesn't disappoint! The light savoury flavour of the mayonnaise from adding in the cooked Parma Ham at the end really complements the very mild flavour of the bone broth fat. The mayonnaise, while it hardens slightly in the fridge, is still nice and spreadable. It' s definitely worth trying out and seeing what you think. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time - Serving Size 1 x 125g Bone Broth and Parma Ham Mayonnaise Pot Main Ingredients: 105ml Bone Broth Fat 2 x Raw Egg Yolks 20g Crispy Parma Ham Salt to Taste (Optional) 5g Honey (Optional) Recipe Instructions 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 like I do). Add a touch of salt (optional) to the egg yolks and then use an immersion blender or whisk to give the egg yolks a good mix. Add the Bone Broth Fat drop by drop for the first few minutes. Gradually pour tiny amounts of the bone broth fat into the egg mixture and continue blending. As the mixture begins to thicken and more of the bone broth fat has been added, you can start to add the fat more quickly until the mayonnaise is still a little liquidy (since the bone broth fat will harden further in the fridge). At this point you can crush the Crispy Parma Ham into little pieces in your hand (or place the Parma Ham in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush it) and then add them to the mayonnaise. You can also add in a very small amount of honey (optional) or any other extras should you wish and combine well. Use a spatula to spoon the Bone Broth and Parma Ham 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 Bone Broth Fat Make the Bone Broth fat as per my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe instructions. Allow the Bone Broth fat to cool on top of the bone broth liquid. Once the Bone Broth fat has set, remove this from the jar and place in a bowl. If the bone broth fat isn't soft, then simply warm it up slightly in a pan so that it's more liquid and ready to be used to make the mayonnaise. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs, as well as organic honey. 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 ). 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. Remember that the Bone Broth & Parma Ham Mayonnaise will harden a little 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.

Regime Type: Strict PKD (No Allowances), Without Eggs Creamy Pulled Pork Soup Introduction & Inspiration Transform your pulled pork leftovers into a sumptuous, velvety soup that’s both easy to prepare and packed with nutrients. The harmonious blend of tender pulled pork and a creamy Alfredo-style sauce creates a symphony of flavours. Top it off with finely grated pork or beef crackling and crispy Parma ham flakes for an indulgent experience. Served piping hot, this soup is richly creamy without the need for any eggs. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Bowl of Creamy Pulled Pork Soup Main Ingredients: 100g Pulled Pork Leftovers 50ml Bone Broth 150ml Alfredo Style Sauce Salt To Taste Topping (Optional) 4g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes 1 Tbsp Grated Pork or Beef Crackling Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 80c. Warm a serving bowl in an oven that has been pre heated to 80c. Wait for the oven to reach temperature and then turn it off, before adding your serving bowl. Add the pulled pork leftovers and the bone broth to a pan on low-medium heat, with a touch of salt. Stir, until the bone broth has melted. Add the sauce to the pan and give everything a good stir. Cook until the mixture is nice and hot. Perform a quick taste and add any additional seasoning as required. Stir. Remove the serving bowl from the oven and add the soup. Sprinkle the soup with some crispy Parma ham flakes and grate on a little pork or beef crackling if desired. Serve nice and hot. Tips As a variation, you can also make a smooth velouté soup version by quickly blending all the pan ingredients until smooth at the end of cooking, before adding the toppings. For the bone broth, adjust as required depending on how thick and unctuous you'd like your soup to be. You can also use pulled pork cooking juices which will provide even more flavour to your soup. Check out my Pulled Pork - Ninja Bake Roast Option , Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker, Beef Crackling, Lard and Pork Crackling - Air Fryer, Crispy Parma Ham Flakes and Alfredo Style Sauce recipes for instructions on how to make all of these. 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. Reduce the quantities slightly should you wish to serve the soup as a starter. Should using the Alfredo Style Sauce prove to be problematic due to sourcing the ingredients, you can substitute as follows: 65g Oven Roasted Bone Marrow, 90ml Beef Cooking Juices (flavourful) and a touch of salt. Warm all the ingredients in a pan and then use a high speed blender to blend until smooth. The substitute sauce is now ready to use. Video

Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Raspberry Crispy Wafers Introduction & Inspiration Raspberry Crispy Wafers have a nice subtle hint of raspberry to them, and are so simple to whip up. 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. Ideally, purchase your meat, skin and animal fats 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 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) 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....

Regime Type: Without Eggs, PKD (With Allowances) Mini Lamb Burger Bites Introduction & Inspiration I wanted to combine lamb with a nice fluffy filling / topping and voilà, these mini lamb burger bites were born! The bone marrow & redcurrant filling, allows the burgers to have a perfect fat : protein ratio. I hope you will enjoy them! 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....

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Souffle Omelette Introduction & Inspiration It would be remiss of me, living here in France, to not be inspired by some of the culinary works of Mère Poulard, who owned an inn on Mont-Saint-Michel, in the Normandy region of France over 100+ years ago. Mère Poulard created a great soufflé omelette which is both crispy and yet fluffy at the same time! In this recipe you will learn how to make the original version using whole eggs (see Tips section below) as well as an adapted version for those that don't do well with egg whites. Both, have an incredibly light and airy texture with a wonderful mixture of fluffy, foamy and crispy goodness! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less Than 30 Minutes Serving Size 1 x Soufflé Omelette Main Ingredients: 30g Egg Yolk (2 egg yolks) 30ml Bone Broth 15g Tallow (for frying) 1/4 Tsp Salt Optional Garnish Ideas 1 x Slice of Smoked Ham Tallow (frozen) - Grated Cooked Lamb Kidney Recipe Instructions Place the egg yolks and salt into a metal bowl. Use an electric hand whisk (or regular whisk) and beat the egg mixture vigorously to incorporate as much air as you can. If you're beating this by hand it could take from 6 to 10 minutes. For an electric hand whisk it will take less time, approx. 3 - 4 minutes. Once you have beaten the eggs well, add in the bone broth to the egg mixture and continue to use the electric hand whisk, to whisk the mixture until it becomes nice and frothy. Once the mixture is ready for cooking, work quickly as the bubbles will soon disappear. Add the tallow to the frying pan on a med-high heat. The tallow should be melted and nice and hot. Pour the mixture from the bowl into the hot pan with a spatula. Leave the mixture to get some colouring underneath the omelette. You can use your spatula to lift up the edges of the omelette to check on the colour from time to time. Continue to cook the omelette until the base has a nice golden colour. The top will still look a little foamy, and not fully cooked. This is normal. Once cooked to your liking, use a spatula to gently transfer the soufflé omelette from the pan onto a serving plate. At this stage you can add a little Parma ham and grated tallow to one half of the omelette (optional), before using your spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the top of the filling mixture (if using). Serve immediately. Bon appétit! Tips For those of you who tolerate egg whites well, simply follow the recipe steps above using 2 whole eggs and salt (the bone broth is not needed in this case). 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 ). In the time before Paul Bocuse there was an official distinction (la Mère) given to talented lady cooks; “The Mothers of France”. The originally recipe cooked the omelette in a copper pan on the fireplace (to get an idea of the original recipe, you can watch this video on YouTube Recette : L'omelette de la Mère Poulard | Archive INA . In the absence of a fireplace, the next best thing is making it on the stove in a pan. The secret of the recipe is being able to incorporate the maximum amount of air into the eggs to arrive at an appareil that is extremely frothy. If you are going to beat the egg mixture by hand, like in the original recipe, it can take anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes. If you use an electric whisk, to get the frothy texture you still need to mimic as though you are whisking by hand to try and incorporate as much air as you can, so move the electric whisk around in the bowl. The egg has to be really well beaten, almost like a meringue. You have to work quickly once the mixture is ready, as the bubbles soon disappear. The cooking time should not normally exceed 3-5 minutes. The top is served a little bit foamy and uncooked. So when you slide it on a plate to serve it up you will have the little edges with the foam (especially if you are using whole eggs). It will deflate like a soufflé, but this is normal. The omelette can be served with a garnish (smoked ham, smoked salmon, cooked lamb kidney or bacon for example. There are so many options!). Just remember to add any additional fat or meat as required for the perfect PKD ratio. *Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives and be sure to use free range, organic eggs. Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this. If you do not have any tallow handy, then substitute with lard or another animal fat. Video
