Breaded Liver on Whipped Beef Tallow
This is a masterpiece🌼💐💛. A plant free alternative in the middle would be spectacular
Great idea! I ran out of the Eskimo dwarf sausage otherwise that would have been in the middle 😉
Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Might want to season the inside of the chicken lightly.
You can if you wish, but honestly it's not necessary.
Thank you, Nicola, perfect timing for Christmas
You're very welcome. I have some quick and easy Christmas ideas coming up, so I hope you'll enjoy these too. Feel free to share on social media if you like the recipes 😉
What's the purpose of sieving the yolk?
It just gives it a slightly smoother texture/consistency. It’s by no means obligatory 😉
I would love to see a pemmican with organs sometime if possible! It seems as though hard times may be hitting were I live soon and a food that can be stored without refridgeration once it's prepeared could be a lifesaver
Sure 😉
This must taste absolutely amazing!! Thank you Nicola💐🌸🙏
You're very welcome 😉
Omg how have I not found you until now. Amazing recipes. Do you have a publication ?
Thank you, you're very kind. I am working on my first cookbook 😉
Does this recipe work with avocado oil?
I am sure it would, however I do not use avocado oil so you'd have to give it a go and see how you get on.
Can you use this tallow to now cook a steak on the grill?
Absolutely!
This looks amazing!!!! I will be doing the same with lamb heart as well!!!!!!❤❤❤
Absolutely! They all taste nice 😋
nice
I hope you'll enjoy it!
Very clever ‘pastry’. Super-nutritious. 👏
Thank you 😋
Delightful ❤
Thanks. I hope you'll give these a try.
As always, clear details of what to use and how to make it. And as always, an inspired recipe. Thank you Nicola.
Thank you so much!
Happy summer healthy people !!
Have a wonderful summer too!
This guy is on fire 🔥 always has the best
I am so pleased you like the recipe!
This is simple but so delicious. Thank you for the idea.
Thank you!!💐
You're very welcome!
I wonder if you mixed with a more traditional mayo if for one would make it go further and two could use for aoli's and such.
You can certainly add additional mayonnaise to it. I do not use aioli with the emulsion of garlic since it's not PKD, but if you're doing more keto carnivore you could certainly try it.
wow!! happy summer Nicola🎉
Many thanks. You too!
Thank you💐🌼☀
Fabulous ideas. My mouth was watering with the last 3. You're very creative. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I am glad the video is helpful.
These are all winners but Options 2 & 4 sound perfect for me. Thank you.
That’s great. I like those ones a lot too 😉😋
Thank you Nicola💐☀🌼
And beef heart
Ok good to know ;-)
Would like to see something done with beef tongue
Yes, this is coming.
Wow, this looks delicious! So do all three presentations suggested, & I'm thinking of more now too, so versatile~as you mentioned. Maybe some liver pate & sliced egg yolk, or whipped quark or cream cheese w/blackberries~yum. Savory w/sweet has always been a favorite, & I've been bringing back in some berries lately which makes me happy. I still haven't tried cooking w/brains, but it's on my list.=) Thanks Nicola, it's always lovely to see one of your posts come up. Enjoy your weekend~ Samantha in AZ
Thank you so much Samantha. Yes, they are very versatile. I will be posting a few other recipes up soon using the beef flour that are nice too, so stay tuned ;-) Have a fantastic weekend too!
Thanks!
Wow! Looking forward to the receipts to use beef flour!! I make pemmicans out of raw beef slices by dehydrating them. But what a brilliant idea to use beef as flour!!
Thank you. I hope you will enjoy using the beef flour in the upcoming recipes.
Already thinking of using with eggs to make ‘buns’. Brilliant! Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Prior to seeing Pasha's post @Allergies Bite, I'd only made flour w/raw beef~ dehydrating first, then crumbing into coarse to fine texture, based on need. I did note a slight difference between the two, & like them both. Pretty sure I learned the raw version from "African Keto Diet" channel a few yrs back. Might have been same channel that showed making flour from fish & chicken too, all of which are such amazing staples to have. That being said, this channel- yours- has been so interesting for variety meats, as well as recipe variety. I'm grateful for your creative brain Nicola~ Thank you for deciding to post what you've come up with as it's forever changed how I think about cooking, in many ways~ organs, in particular. I consider myself a good cook, yet not so inventive. *Funny side note~ my husband just walked by toward end of this one & saw your face in corner of screen, asking "is she related?" I said not that I know of, but you're right, she could be😉Very strong resemblence, I must say. Have a lovely wknd & thx againSamantha in AZ/USA
No problem Samantha, my ''double'' ;-) I am originally from the NW England (Derbyshire) so may be we have a distant relative in common ;-) Thank you for your lovely comments. It's so nice to receive feedback. It makes it all worthwhile. Have a wonderful weekend too.
@@nicolaskitchen_net
Yummers! Must be been delicious, especially the sandwiches!! About how long did it take for the roast to be ready? I love the appliances you use like the thermometer and meat knife but I always worry i don't be able to clean them completely if they can't be submerged in water lol and I want to avoid histamine build-up, do you have any tips? 🍗🍖🌳
Thanks a lot. Time wise it can take less than 1 hour to cook (like in the video) or slightly longer if you can get your hands on a larger sized joint of beef. A rough guides would be 25 minutes per 500g, plus an extra 20 minutes for medium cook. Allow slightly more time if you prefer well done. The digital thermometer is very handy. The one I use is by ThermPro TP-16. The Moulinex electric carving knife is more of an antique at this point ;-) It was one my parent's bought on Christmas Eve 1984! The blades just unlock from each other and just eject from the device so they're super easy to clean as they can be submerged into water. For the digital thermometer probe, you can simply emerge the probe tip itself into hot water and clean it. It's quick and easy, which is definitely preferable as you say.
Hi @plum1018. I was about to reply to your other kind message for the beef flour video but it's disappeared and I'm not sure how to retrieve it... Anyway, I just wanted to say that we're all different, so stick with it as every day you do PKD the better and better you will feel. The histamine issues will resolve themselves with time ;-)
This looks simply amazing. I must get one of these thermometers - what make is yours Nicola?
Thank you! My digital food thermometer is made by ThermPro. It's the TP16 model, however I am sure there are later versions at this point. It works really well though ;-)
Nick this is a great dish
Thank you.
Sorry, last question lol..by several hrs do you mean approx 3? I just looked up definition and it says it can mean 7-8 lol🌳🌻🐤 If you recommend water should I add enough to reach a certain point in the pork tongue?
Yes, anywhere from 2 - 4 hours. Start by seasoning the tongue. Then, place it in a roasting pan and add in some broth (It can be enough to go half way up the tongue should you wish). Cover the pan tightly with foil / or use a lid and roast the tongue in the oven at a low temperature 120c or 130c for 2 - 4 hours, until it is tender and fully cooked. Check it after 2 hours and if it's completely tender, it should be done. Otherwise, let it cook a little longer and check again. I hope this helps.
@@nicolaskitchen_net I made it! Thank you so much!! It ended up taking 3 1/2 hrs at 130 degrees Celsius with a tight lid, celtic salt and some liquid (i didn't get your message in time to add broth but I did add a good amt of lard plus some suet pieces and the meat released a lot of liquid maybe because it was not all the way thawed lol and that made broth that did happen to come up about half way💛) It was good, kinda earthy/deep/rich flavor and the fat on it was delectable, it was very tender, kinda like a mild beefy roast flavor. It still tripped me out a little to be eating tongue lol, but I guess that will ease with time. For ex: Kidney used to be a little difficult for me but now I just eat them up as if they mushrooms quick as can be and enjoy each bite Maybe one day, I'll be able to eat thymus and pancreas lol I appreciate you sooooooo much. I wouldn't have tried the tongue without your support🎉🎊💐💛🌻
@@plum1018 I am so pleased that it worked out well for you and that you shared your experiences! Good on you that you're now cooking up tongue. It is very delicious isn't it. People hear tongue and then run for the hills, yet it's very nutrient dense and tastes delicious so it's great that you gave it a try ;-) In the early days I also had a hard time with kidney, but now I also treat them like mushrooms as they have a similar texture and they are totally delicious! I think sometimes it's a little psychological. Once we get over that, it really unlocks so many doors for our nutrition.
Keep the ice cream with meats coming
You must have read my mind as I have been working on a few new ones, so stay tuned ;-) If you make any of my ice creams and like them, please feel free to share photos and comments on social media platforms as that would be really helpful ;-)
@@nicolaskitchen_net I’m thinking of making a duck or a lamb chop as they have a mild sweet taste to them and maybe add a dark berry and a touch of some heat like spice heat cured frozen egg yokes maybe on the list also
@@nicolaskitchen_net I’m willing to bet ice cream with a mild aged cheese would be very interesting or a smoked cheese
@@nicolaskitchen_net I thought I was the only person who ever made liver ice cream so I searched and here you are probably the only other person I ever seen making it my way to make it is very similar
@@michaeledwards8946 i don't actually eat dairy but could imagine this being interesting and flavourful.
Trying this one
What temperature would you recommend I bake the pork tongue at? and can the lid be ajar? Tysm💛💛💛
Hi, I would try cooking at a low temperature (so 120c or 130c is fine for several hours). If you keep the lid on it will keep it nice and moist as the lid traps heat and moisture. With a lid, you waste less energy. Without a lid, water is allowed to escape. So it all depends on what you're trying to do. I hope this helps. Let me know how you get on ;-)
@@nicolaskitchen_net Wonderful! Thank you so much🌹
Looks delicious!
Thanks ;-)
Thank you, they must be delicious!! Do you have recommendations on types blenders to chop meat that are easy to complely clean? I haven't found a food processor that I can feel sure I'm getting all the way clean and am still super reactive to histamines 🌸💐🌳 I am thinking of braising pork tongue at 130 degrees Celsius for an hour or two...but would prefer follow your suggestion on a braise it lol. Its my first time making pork tongue!! 🍖🍗🍔⭐
Hi, for making burger patties I tend to just use my basic Kenwood mini food chopper. It's compact and powerful, 500W. It's also super easy to clean too. I think something like that can be a great kitchen gadget. For larger quantities of meat etc. I would probably opt for a food processor too. I use an old Philips model HR7774/90 at home that I have had for years and is easy to clean. With time, following PKD will help normalize intestinal permeability, therefore you will start to no longer have autoimmune reactions to anything that is normally in the meat. One popular method to cook pork tongue is indeed to braise it and you can also slow cook it or pressure cook, or grill it too. Yes in the oven at a low temperature for several hours, until it is tender and fully cooked. It may take anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on the method you choose and the size of the tongue. It’s best to cook it low and slow to ensure that it becomes tender and fully cooked. I will try and get hold of some pasture raised pork tongue to do a recipe. I still have a beef tongue recipe I need to get to as well, so please bear with me ;-)
Oh my ~ these look fantastic! It's been a while since having a "burger", per say, as I don't care much for the grind from markets or butchers. Making your own is absolutely the way to do it, knowing exactly what's in there. I also need to get a better burger press, which seem all the same variety around here~not so great. Thanks so much for the inspirationSamantha
Hi Samantha, yes making your own burger patties is so much better, as you know exactly what's in them and they're not particularly time-consuming to make either. If you do a big batch, they also freeze really well too. The burger press can be very helpful as you mention. I hope you find something you like. Using the back of a spoon is normally pretty good otherwise ;-)
@@nicolaskitchen_net Good point~ a spoon works. I sure like the way yours looked though, so neat & tidy. I think for people who love to cook & create things in the kitchen, the aesthetic adds to enjoyment maybe. *I may have found a contender on Amazon today, burger press that is.=) 🤞
@@RV-there-Yet Well that's great news! Yes, I do know what you mean in terms of the aesthetics ;-)
How long I can hold in refrigerator and for how much minutes boil it ?
I have found that I keep the pasteurised eggs in the fridge for several days. As I like my egg yolk sauce nice and thick, I cook for 25 - 30 minutes usually. It just depends on what I will be using them for.
Hello! Would you please descibe the texture of this freshly baked compared to bread. It looks spongy, is it lol? I'm wanting to make this w pate and alfredo style sauce and that amazing soup like you posted today as my first recipes💛💛💛
Hello, Nicola 💐! Please will you tell me what to substitute for brain for the alfredo style sauce? I don't have access to it but I do have beef marrow. I don't know if marrow would be too strong? How should I adjust the recipe?💛🌸🍖🌾
Brain?
Hello, a very good substitute is in fact oven roasted bone marrow as it provides a great amount of creaminess, and yet is so subtle taste-wise. Instead of the 150ml Alfredo sauce, simply heat up 90ml of tasty beef broth, with a touch of salt and 65g bone marrow. Once nice and warm, put it in the high speed blender and blend until smooth. This will yield about 150ml. So your PKD ratio will still be good. Let me know how you get on ;-)
@@kristinj8271 yes, the Alfredo style sauce contains a small amount of poached brain. I know that can seem intimidating and weird to many at first. The first brain I tried poached was lamb brain and I still cannot stand it. However pig brain poached and then used in sauces is brilliant. The taste is creamy and neutral, so it makes for a great sauce as well as a dessert sauce too. If you don't like brain or don't have access to it, try the alternative indicated.
this looks absolutely beautiful🎉
Wow! Must be delicious!! The kidney on top reminds me of flowers. Thank you🌼🍖💐🙌
