Roasted Bone Marrow Recipe

Rich and buttery, roasted bone marrow is a great appetizer for a nice dinner in. I pair it with a bright and citrusy parsley salad to balance out the richness of the marrow and grilled bread.

Ingredients

For the Bone Marrow

  • 3-3 3" pieces of beef bone marrow

For the Parsley Salad

  • 1 handful of flat-leaf Italian parsley leaves picked from stems
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • coarse sea salt
  • 1 loaf french bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F. Put the bones in an ovenproof roasting pan or on a foil-lined baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and roast for about 15-18 minutes. You’re looking for loose and giving marrow, but marrow that’s not yet melted away.
  • Meanwhile, lightly chop the parsley and mix it with the shallots and capers. Just before serving, dress salad with lemon juice; salt and pepper to taste.
  • Brush the pieces of bread with the melted butter and place in a grill pan until nice and toasted. Don’t completely season this dish before serving; let the diner do the last-minute seasoning. To eat, scrape the marrow from the bone onto the toast; season it with coarse sea salt. Place a pinch of parsley salad on top; eat immediately.
