For the Love of...: ...Roasted Bone Marrow

We knew it was only a matter of time before we would decide to make bone marrow at home. Since having it a few years ago for the first time in Lyon, France at Brasserie Georges, we fell in love.  Beef bone marrow roasted and simply garnished tastes remarkably similar to an intensely beef flavoured butter- if such thing were to exist.  It's creamy smooth texture happens to be perfect for spreading on slices of a baguette or any toasty bread for that matter.  Cheap and easy to make at home, why would you go to a restaurant and order one serving for upwards of $12?  All you carnivores out there this is for you!

Ingredients (4 servings)
-4 beef marrow bones
-3-4 sprigs of rosemary
-1 French baguette, sliced and toasted
-Sea salt and pepper to taste


Method


1.  Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.


2.  Line a baking tray with foil and place inside the bone marrow and rosemary sprigs. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes until the marrow is bubbling and slightly separates from the bone.

3. While the marrow is roasting slice the baguette and toast.


4. Remove the marrow bones from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

5. Set out the slices of toast, sea salt and pepper to allow each person to season their own. Don't forget the small teaspoons!

You may choose to make an additional garnish using your choice of herbs and seasonings.


Enjoy!
